Automated design of CRISPR prime editors for 56,000 human pathogenic variants

Summary: Prime editors (PEs) are clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based genome engineering tools that can introduce precise base-pair edits. We developed an automated pipeline to correct (therapeutic editing) or introduce (disease modeling) human pathogenic variants...
