Project description:To identify mutations that occurred in the nuclear and mitochondrial DNA of the yeast subjected to mtDNA base editing or Mito-BE screen, we performed whole-genome sequencing of cultured yeast cells after isolation of mitochondrial DNA.
Project description:Donated human MII oocytes and zygotes were injected with ABE mRNA or RNP, or Cas9 RNP targeting indicated genes. The purpose of the experiment is to study DNA repair after base editing in preimplantation human embryos. Key findings are a lack of chromosomal aneuploidies in base editing samples, contrasting with the outcomes after Cas9 cleavage at the same sites. Off target base editing is highly gRNA dependent. Base editing is efficient, and lacks the genotoxicity of Cas9.
