Description
[0001] ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO GENOMIC EDITING METHODS TO TREAT CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, AND COMPOSITIONS FOR USE IN PRACTICING THE SAME CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 119 (e), this application claims priority to the filing date of United States Provisional Patent Application Serial No.63 / 639,309 filed April 26, 2024, the disclosure of which application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. FIELD The present invention relates to the field of multiplex genome editing therapeutics with and without circular crRNA arrays and targeted, minimally-immunogenic nucleic acid delivery to treat atherosclerotic disease. BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE Genome engineering holds great promise in the treatment of human disease. In the span of approximately 10 years from discovery, the first genome editing therapeutic was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, a testament to the potential of this therapeutic class. Given the breadth of human disease that arises from genetic mutations, the ability to correct these mutations offers the hope of potentially curative therapeutics. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death in the United States, and CVD is a complication of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis refers to the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques in the wall of blood vessels. Plaques are caused by cholesterol, fat, and blood cells and other substances that accumulate in the arterial walls, narrowing them. Atherosclerosis can affect most of the arteries in the body, including the brain, heart, extremities, pelvis, kidneys, and more. A variety of diseases results from atherosclerosis including but not limited to coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral artery disease (PAD), carotid artery disease, renal artery stenosis, aortic stenosis, vertebral artery disease, mesenteric artery ischemia and more. (source: NIH website, accessed Jan 14, 2024). FH is a genetic disorder that affects approximately 1 in 250 people and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease at a young age. FH is caused by inherited mutations in several genes, including but not limited to LDLR, APOB, LDLRAP1, and PCSK9. Mutations in one of these 4 ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO genes are responsible for causing disease in most patients. Patients that have mutations in both copies of their gene develop homozygous FH, with a more severe phenotype. This typically results in LDL levels > 500 mg / dL prior to treatment, with untreated patients developing atherosclerosis prior to age 20 and infrequently surviving beyond the age of 30 without treatment. Homozygous FH occurs in approximately 1 in 300,000 people. (Cuchel M et al. Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: new insights and guidance for clinicians to improve detection and clinical management. A position paper from the Consensus Panel on Familial Hypercholesterolaemia of the European Atherosclerosis Society. Eur Heart J.2014; 35(32):2146-2157) A key driver in atherosclerosis development is high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C, referred interchangeably as LDL-C or LDL throughout). It is well understood that lowering LDL confers a protective risk against ASCVD and atherosclerosis, and consequently, patients with high levels of LDL receive chronic, repeated treatments to lower LDL and decrease their risk of severe complications from ASCVD. Some patients have a genetic predisposition to elevated LDL. Certain genes have been implicated in elevated levels of LDL-C, including proprotein convertase subtilisin / kexin type 9 (PCSK) gene and angiopoietin-like-3 (ANGPTL3) gene. The PCSK9 gene, also known as proprotein convertase subtilisin / kexin type 9, is located on chromosome 1p32.3. It spans approximately 22 kilobases (kb) in length and consists of 12 exons. The PCSK9 gene encodes a protein involved in the regulation of cholesterol levels in the blood by promoting the degradation of low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLRs). Monoclonal anti PCSK9 antibodies are FDA approved and demonstrate LDL lowering. Genomic editing of PCSK9 alone has been shown, in humans and non-human primates (NHPs) to durably lower LDL-C. The gene encoding angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) is called ANGPTL3, and it is located on chromosome 1p31.1. The ANGPTL3 gene spans approximately 22.3 kilobases (kb) in length. It contains 7 exons and encodes a protein that plays a critical role in lipid metabolism by inhibiting lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and endothelial lipase (EL), thereby regulating triglyceride and cholesterol levels in the blood. Mutations in the ANGPTL3 gene have been associated with familial combined hypolipidemia and may influence susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases. Results from phase 3 clinical trials with a monoclonal anti-ANGPTL3 antibody (evinacumab) and clinical trial data from anti-sense oligonucleotide (ASO) clearly show significant lipid lowering. Genomic editing of ANGPTL3 alone in non-human primates to durably lower LDL-C. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO An independent risk factor of ASCVD is elevated levels of lipoprotein a (Lp(a)). Lp(a) consists of a lipid-rich domain, primarily cholesteryl esters, and apolipoprotein (a). The gene encoding Lp(a) is called LPA, and it is located on chromosome 6q25.3. The length of the LPA gene varies depending on the specific isoform, but it typically spans several kilobases (kb) in length. Epidemiological, genome-wide association, and Mendialian randomization data provide clear support for a causal role for elevated Lp(a) in the development of ASCVD. (Reyes-Soffer G, et al. Lipoprotein(a): A genetically determined, causal, and prevalent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: a scientific statement from the American heart association. Arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology.2022;42:e48-e60). Some patients with FH also exhibit elevated levels of Lp(a). There are currently no approved therapeutics to lower Lp(a), despite the known association of elevated Lp(a) and ASCVD. Apolipoprotein CIII‚ encoded by APOC3, is an endogenous inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) that is transported on triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. The APOC3 gene is located on chromosome 11q23.1 and spans approximately 3.5 kilobases (kb) in length. LoF variants in APOC3 are proven to reduce triglyceride levels (through increased LPL activity) and provide protection against ASCVD (Stankov S et al. Gain-of-function variants in lipid genes enhance biological insight and point toward therapeutic opportunities. Circulation.2022;146:740-742). A genomic editing therapeutic targeting APOC3 would lower triglyceride levels. Apolipoprotein B (APOB) is a critical structural protein of the atherogenic lipoproteins. It plays multiple roles in regulating lipid metabolism and is considered to be a physiologically relevant measure of the actual number of atherogenic lipid particles. APOB levels indicate the atherogenic particle concentration independent of the particle cholesterol content. There is evidence to suggest that APOB is a more accurate indicator of the cardiovascular risk than either total cholesterol or LDL cholesterol. Measurement of serum apoB reflects total LDL-C, intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL-C), VLDL-C, and lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) particle concentrations because each particle contains exactly one molecule of apoB100. ApoB is encoded by the APOB gene and occurs in two forms: full-length apoB100, consisting of 4536 amino acids; and apoB48, a truncated form consisting of the N-terminal 2152 amino acids. Given the high rates of morbidity and mortality secondary to ASCVD, better therapeutics are needed to improve patient outcomes. A safe, effective gene editing therapeutic could potentially ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO reduce LDL and / or Lp(a), ApoB, and / or triglycerides, providing a potentially curative therapeutic following a single administration. Achieving this goal requires development of a genome editing therapeutic that can be delivered in vivo and simultaneously edit multiple genes. This therapeutic would have the potential to not only prevent progression of ASCVD, but also to potentially reverse the progression of atherosclerotic disease through the lowering of LDL, Lp(a), and triglycerides. SUMMARY Methods of editing one or more cardiovascular disease implicated genomic regions of a cell are provided. Aspects of the methods include introducing into a cell: a HyperCas12 nuclease or nucleic acid encoding the same; and a gRNA comprising two or more targeting sequences to edit the one or more cardiovascular disease implicated genomic regions of the cell. Also provided are compositions for practicing embodiments of the methods. The methods and compositions find use in a variety of different applications, including treatment of cardiovascular disease. Provided herein are compositions and methods of use of genome editing therapeutics designed to edit polynucleotides or target genes to treat atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD), including but not limited to patients who are diagnosed with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). The compositions and components described herein are understood to be separate aspects of the inventive subject matter. The field of genomic engineering utilizes bacterial endonuclease systems that evolved to offer protection against DNA viruses and plasmids. Numerous endonuclease proteins have been discovered, with several translated into human genome engineering applications. The most frequently used endonuclease for human therapeutics is Cas9. Cas9 is a 160 kilodalton dual RNA-guided DNA endonuclease enzyme associated with Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) adaptive immune system in Streptococcus pyogenes. In bacteria, this protein cleaves foreign DNA to protect the bacterial cell. Cas9 is the industry leading endonuclease platform for genomic editing, with excellent editing efficiencies and acceptably low off-target editing effects. However, Cas9 lacks intrinsic RNase activity to process guide RNA. As such, CRISPR-Cas9 systems are typically delivered with a single guide RNA targeting a single gene. To enable multiplexing, or modifying 2 or more genetic targets, Cas9 ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO therapeutics would require simultaneous delivery of 2 or more separate guide RNAs. This creates unique drug chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) challenges. In addition, regulatory approval of a therapeutic delivered with multiple individual guide RNAs is more complicated. Consequently, multiplexing applications with Cas9 therapeutics are typically limited to ex vivo therapeutics, where a cell can be processed sequentially with different guide RNAs. In vivo therapeutic programs almost exclusively target a single gene. The Cas12 endonuclease is better equipped to multiplex in that it possesses intrinsic RNA endonuclease activity. As such, Cas12 can cleave a single crispr RNA (crRNA) into multiple guide RNAs after delivery into a cell. However, Cas12 editing efficiencies lag behind Cas9, limiting enthusiasm for their clinical application. To address this, an enhanced Cas12 (enCas12) was developed, however, its editing remained inferior to Cas9. More recently a novel hyper- efficient Cas12 (hyperCas12) was developed via structure-guided protein engineering. Published PCT application Publication No. WO2022174108A1 is hereby incorporated in its entirety by reference. HyperCas12, consisting of 4 mutations (D156R, D235R, E292R, and D350R), has shown significantly improved editing efficiencies, superior to wild type Cas12 and similar to Cas9, with comparable low off target effects. HyperCas12 is therefore an ideal candidate CRISPR enzyme to use for in vivo genomic editing therapeutics, including for the treatment of atherosclerotic and cardiovascular disease. Provided herein, among others, is a composition comprising an engineered codon optimized CRISPR-associated (Cas) 12 mRNA, (hyperCas12) with crRNA designed to target genes in the liver that durably lower LDL-C and Lp(a) thereby treating atherosclerosis, CVD, and ASCVD.

Delivering nucleic acid therapeutics to the tissue of interest is challenging. Many of these challenges have been eloquently addressed through the generation of non-replicating viral ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO vectors including AAV, lentivirus, HSV-1 and others. However, there are some limitations for these vectors, and other vectors have also been described to deliver nucleic acids. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have proven to be an effective delivery agent for nucleic acid therapeutics. As highlighted by the global success of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccination campaign, LNPs have now been used to deliver mRNA into hundreds of millions of patients worldwide. LNPs can target multiple organs, including the liver. Because LNPs can carry larger payloads and are preferentially taken up by the liver, a minimally immunogenic LNP is one of several ideal carriers for a liver-targeting, atherosclerosis treating genome editing therapeutic. Other non-limiting carrier options for nucleic acid therapeutics include virus like particles and nucleosome-core proteins. Also described herein are components, compositions, and vectors for performing these methods.

DEFINITIONS LNP: lipid nanoparticle lipoprotein lipase (LPL) subtilisin / kexin type 9 (PCSK) angiopoietin-like-3 (ANGPTL3) apolipoprotein C-III (APOC3) single-strand breaks (SSB) or double-strand breaks (DSB) Lp(a): Lipoprotein a ribonucleoprotein particle (RNP) CVD: cardiovascular disease FH: familial hypercholesterolemia ASCVD: atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease pDNA: plasmid DNA mRNA: messenger ribonucleic acid ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO VLP: virus-like particles CRISPR: clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats CART: Charge-altering releasable transporter As used herein, the term “tissue” refers to one or more aggregates of cells in a subject (e.g., a living organism, such as a mammal, such as a human) that have a similar function and structure or to a plurality of different types of such aggregates. Tissue may include, for example, organ tissue, muscle tissue (e.g., cardiac muscle; smooth muscle; and / or skeletal muscle), connective tissue, ocular conjunctival tissue, nervous tissue and / or epithelial tissue. As used herein, the term “subject” is used interchangeably in this disclosure with the term “patient”. In certain embodiments, a subject is a “mammal” or “mammalian”, where these terms are used broadly to describe organisms which are within the class mammalia, including the orders carnivore (e.g., dogs and cats), rodentia (e.g., mice, guinea pigs, and rats), and primates (e.g., humans, chimpanzees, and monkeys). In some embodiments, subjects are humans. The term “humans” may include human subjects of both genders and at any stage of development (e.g., fetal, neonates, infant, juvenile, adolescent, adult), where in certain embodiments the human subject is a juvenile, adolescent or adult. While the devices and methods described herein may be applied to perform a procedure on a human subject, it is to be understood that the subject devices and methods may also be carried out to perform a procedure on other subjects (that is, in “non-human subjects”). As used herein, the term “cell-penetrating complex” or the like refer, in the usual and customary sense, to a chemical complex (e.g., a complex or composition disclosed herein and embodiments thereof), capable of penetrating into a cell (a biological cell, such as a eukaryotic cell or prokaryotic cell). In some embodiments, the cell-penetrating complex includes a nucleic acid ionically bound to a cationic amphipathic polymer. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid is unable to substantially penetrate the cell in the absence of the cationic amphipathic polymer. Thus, in some embodiments, the cationic amphipathic polymer facilitates the transport of the nucleic acid into the cell. As used herein, the terms “cationic charge altering releasable transporter,” “CART” and the like refer to the cell-penetrating complexes disclosed herein. The CART compounds are able to release the nucleic acid component within the cell through the action of a pH-sensitive immolation domain within the cationic amphipathic polymer component, which reacts in response to an intracellular pH thereby releasing the nucleic acid with in the cell. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO In some embodiments, the cationic amphipathic polymer degrades rapidly within the cell (e.g. a T1 / 2 of less than 6 hours at pH 7.4). At least in some embodiments, a polyplex, a complex, an electrostatic complex, a CART / mRNA complex, a CART / oligonucleotide complex and nanoparticle can interchangeably be used to refer to a cell-penetrating complex. As used herein, the term “initiator” refers to a compound that is involved in a reaction synthesizing a cationic amphipathic polymer having the purpose of initiating the polymerization reaction. Thus, the initiator is typically incorporated at the end of a synthesized polymer. For example, a plurality of molecules of one type (or formula) of monomer or more than one type of monomers (e.g. two different types of monomers) can be reacted with an initiator to provide a cationic amphipathic polymer. The initiator can be present on at least one end of the resulting polymer and not constitute a repeating (or polymerized) unit(s) present in the polymer. As used herein, the term “nucleic acid” refers to deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides and polymers thereof in either single -, double - or multiple - stranded form, or complements thereof. The terms "polynucleotide," "oligonucleotide" "oligo” or the like refer, in the usual and customary sense, to a linear sequence of nucleotides. The term “nucleotide” refers, in the usual and customary sense, to a single unit of a polynucleotide, i.e., a monomer. Nucleotides can be ribonucleotides, deoxyribonucleotides, or modified versions thereof. Examples of polynucleotides contemplated herein include single and double stranded DNA, single and double stranded RNA, and hybrid molecules having mixtures of single and double stranded DNA and RNA. Examples of nucleic acid, e.g. polynucleotides contemplated herein include any types of RNA, e.g. messenger RNA (mRNA), small interference RNA (siRNA), short hairpin RNA (shRNA), circular translating RNA, circular RNA with internal ribosome entry site, circular RNA with micro RNA (miRNA), guide RNA (GRNA), CRISPR RNA (crRNA), transactivating RNA (tracrRNA), plasmid DNA (PDNA), minicircle DNA, genomic DNA (GNDA), and any fragments thereof. The term “duplex” in the context of polynucleotides refers, in the usual and customary sense, to double strandedness. Nucleic acids can be linear or branched. For example, nucleic acids can be a linear chain of nucleotides or the nucleic acids can be branched, e.g., such that the nucleic acids has one or more arms or branches of nucleotides. Multiple nucleotides can be delivered in a single plasmid, including combining different types of nucleotides (eg, a DNA and an RNAi, or any combination of the nucleotides listed above). Optionally, the branched nucleic acids are repetitively branched to form higher ordered structures such as dendrimers and the like. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO Nucleic acids, including e.g., nucleic acids with a phosphothioate backbone, can include one or more reactive moieties. As used herein, the term reactive moiety includes any group capable of reacting with another molecule, e.g., a nucleic acid or polypeptide through covalent, non- covalent or other interactions. By way of example, the nucleic acid can include an amino acid reactive moiety that reacts with an amino acid on a protein or polypeptide through a covalent, non-covalent or other interaction. The terms also encompass nucleic acids containing known nucleotide analogs or modified backbone residues or linkages, which are synthetic, naturally occurring, and non-naturally occurring, which have similar binding properties as the reference nucleic acid, and which are metabolized in a manner similar to the reference nucleotides. Examples of such analogs include, include, without limitation, phosphodiester derivatives including, e.g., phosphoramidate, phosphorodiamidate, phosphorothioate (also known as phosphothioate having double bonded sulfur replacing oxygen in the phosphate), phosphorodithioate, phosphonocarboxylic acids, phosphonocarboxylates, phosphonoacetic acid, phosphonoformic acid, methyl phosphonate, boron phosphonate, or O-methylphosphoroamidite linkages (see Eckstein, OLIGONUCLEOTIDES AND ANALOGUES: A PRACTICAL APPROACH, Oxford University Press) as well as modifications to the nucleotide bases such as in 5-methyl cytidine or pseudouridine; and peptide nucleic acid backbones and linkages. Other analog nucleic acids include those with positive backbones; non-ionic backbones, modified sugars, and non-ribose backbones (e.g. phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligos or locked nucleic acids (LNA) as known in the art), including those described in U.S. Pat. Nos.5,235,033 and 5,034,506, and Chapters 6 and 7, ASC Symposium Series 580, CARBOHYDRATE MODIFICATIONS IN ANTISENSE RESEARCH, Sanghui & Cook, eds. Nucleic acids containing one or more carbocyclic sugars are also included within one definition of nucleic acids. Modifications of the ribose-phosphate backbone may be done for a variety of reasons, e.g., to increase the stability and half-life of such molecules in physiological environments or as probes on a biochip. Mixtures of naturally occurring nucleic acids and analogs can be made; alternatively, mixtures of different nucleic acid analogs, and mixtures of naturally occurring nucleic acids and analogs may be made. In some embodiments, the internucleotide linkages in DNA are phosphodiester, phosphodiester derivatives, or a combination of both. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO Nucleic acids can include nonspecific sequences. As used herein, the term “nonspecific sequence” refers to a nucleic acid sequence that contains a series of residues that are not designed to be complementary to or are only partially complementary to any other nucleic acid sequence. By way of example, a nonspecific nucleic acid sequence is a sequence of nucleic acid residues that does not function as an inhibitory nucleic acid when contacted with a cell or organism. An “inhibitory nucleic acid” is a nucleic acid (e.g. DNA, RNA, polymer of nucleotide analogs) that is capable of binding to a target nucleic acid (e.g. an mRNA translatable into a protein) and reducing transcription of the target nucleic acid (e.g. mRNA from DNA) or reducing the translation of the target nucleic acid (e.g. mRNA) or altering transcript splicing (e.g. single stranded morpholino oligo). In some embodiments, the nucleic acid is RNA (e.g. mRNA). In some embodiments the nucleic acid is 10 to 100,000 bases in length. In some embodiments the nucleic acid is between 50 and 10,000 bases in length. In some embodiments the nucleic acid is between 50 and 5,000 bases in length. In some embodiments the nucleic acid is between 50 and 1,000 bases in length. As used herein, the term “polypeptide,” “peptide” and “protein” are used interchangeably herein to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues, wherein the polymer may be conjugated to a moiety that does not consist of amino acids. The terms apply to amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residue is an artificial chemical mimetic of a corresponding naturally occurring amino acid, as well as to naturally occurring amino acid polymers and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymers. The terms apply to macrocyclic peptides, peptides that have been modified with non-peptide functionality, peptidomimetics, polyamides, and macrolactams. A “fusion protein” refers to a chimeric protein encoding two or more separate protein sequences that are recombinantly expressed as a single moiety. As used herein, the term “amino acid” refers to naturally occurring and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to the naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally occurring amino acids are those encoded by the genetic code, as well as those amino acids that are later modified, e.g., hydroxyproline, γ- carboxyglutamate, and O-phosphoserine. Amino acid analogs refers to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid, i.e., a carbon that is bound to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group, e.g., homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine methyl sulfonium. Such analogs have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO structure as a naturally occurring amino acid. Amino acid mimetics refers to chemical compounds that have a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of an amino acid, but that functions in a manner similar to a naturally occurring amino acid. The terms “non-naturally occurring amino acid” and “unnatural amino acid” refer to amino acid analogs, synthetic amino acids, and amino acid mimetics which are not found in nature. Amino acids may be referred to herein by either their commonly known three letter symbols or by the one-letter symbols recommended by the IUPAC-IUB Biochemical Nomenclature Commission. Nucleotides, likewise, may be referred to by their commonly accepted single-letter codes. As used herein, the term “gene” refers to a polynucleotide containing at least one open reading frame that is capable of encoding a particular gene product after being transcribed, and sometimes also translated. The term “gene” or “coding sequence” refers to a nucleotide sequence in vitro or in vivo that encodes a gene product. In some instances, the gene consists or consists essentially of coding sequence, that is, sequence that encodes the gene product. In other instances, the gene comprises additional, non-coding, sequence. For example, the gene may or may not include regions preceding and following the coding region, e.g.5′ untranslated (5′ UTR) or “leader” sequences and 3′ UTR or “trailer” sequences, as well as intervening sequences (introns) between individual coding segments (exons). As used herein, the term “transgene” refers to an artificial gene, manipulated in the molecular biology laboratory that incorporates all appropriate elements critical for gene expression. Alternatively, a “transgene” is a gene that has been transferred naturally, or by any genetic engineering techniques, from one organism to another. As used herein, the term “CRISPR” refers to bacterial or archaeal systems that target DNA using RNA-guided, DNA-targeting. CRISPR-Cas systems include Class 1 systems that utilize a complex of multiple cas proteins (for example type I, III, IV CRISPR-Cas systems) and Class 2 systems utilizing a single Cas protein (for example, type II, V, and VI CRISPR-Cas systems). In Class 2 systems, the system comprises a) A guide RNA which comprises a guide sequence linked to a direct repeat sequence, wherein the guide sequence is able to hybridize with a target sequence adjacent to a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM), or one or more nucleotide sequences encoding the guide RNA, and ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO b) A Cas effector protein or one or more nucleotide sequences encoding a Cas effector protein.

The CRISPR-Cas system is classified into different types and subtypes based on the presence of signature proteins and their functions. In Class 1, the I type involves Cas3, functioning as a single-stranded DNA nuclease with an HD domain, and an ATP- dependent helicase. Subtypes include I-A (Cas8a, Cas5) where Cas8 is a subunit of the interference module crucial for targeting invading DNA and Cas5 is required for processing and stability of crRNAs. Other subtypes include I-B (Cas8b), I-C (Cas8c), I-D (Cas10d with a domain homologous to the palm domain of nucleic acid polymerases and nucleotide cyclases), I-E (Cse1, Cse2), I-F (Csy1, Csy2, Csy3 implicated in CRISPR-associated transposons), and I-G (GSU0054). In Class 3, the III type involves Cas10, a homolog of Cas10d and Cse1, which binds CRISPR target RNA and promotes the stability of the interference complex. Subtypes include III-A (Csm2), III-B (Cmr5), III-C (Cas10 or Csx11), III-D (Csx10), III-E, and III-F. Class 4 includes the IV type with Casf1, and its subtypes IV-A, IV-B, IV-C. In Class 2, the II type involves Cas9, where nucleases RuvC and HNH produce double-strand breaks (DSBs) and single-strand breaks, ensuring functional spacer acquisition during adaptation. Subtypes include II-A (Csn2, a ring-shaped DNA-binding protein involved in primed adaptation), II-B (Cas4, an endonuclease working with cas1 and cas2 to generate spacer sequences), and II-C characterized by the absence of either Csn2 or Cas4. Class 5 involves the V type with Cas12, which lacks HNH, and its subtypes V-A (Cas12a or Cpf1 with auto-processing pre-crRNA activity for multiplex gene regulation), V-B (Cas12b or C2c1), V-C (Cas12c or C2c3), V-D (Cas12d or CasY), V-E (Cas12e or CasX), V-F (Cas12f or Cas14, C2c10), V-G (Cas12g), V-H (Cas12h), V-I (Cas12i), V-K (Cas12k or C2c5 implicated in CRISPR-associated transposons), and V-U (C2c4, C2c8, C2c9). HyperCas12 is also a Class 5 Cas protein. Class 6 includes the VI type with Cas13, an RNA-guided RNase. Subtypes include VI-A (Cas13a or C2c2), VI-B (Cas13b), VI-C (Cas13c), VI-D (Cas13d), VI-X (Cas13x.1, an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase for prophylactic RNA-virus inhibition), and VI-Y. This classification and subtyping provides a non-exhaustive overview of the diversity within the CRISPR-Cas system based on the signature proteins and their specific functions and is not meant to limit to only the Cas proteins listed herein. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO As used herein, the term "CRISPR RNA" or "crRNA" refers to an RNA molecule having a synthetic sequence and typically comprising two sequence components: a spacer sequence and a guide RNA scaffold sequence (also called a "repeat sequence"). These two sequence components can be in a single RNA molecule or in a double-RNA molecule configuration (also known as a duplex guide RNA that comprises both a crRNA and a trans-activating crRNA (tracRNA)). In some instances, the RNA molecule can have a crRNA component only (without a tracrRNA), for example, the RNAs that work with Cas12a. Thus, a crRNA as used herein generally comprises a repeat sequence and a spacer. In some instances, the repeat sequence is referred to as a "crRNA." As used herein, the term “homology-directed repair” or “HDR” refers to a mechanism in cells to accurately and precisely repair double-strand DNA breaks using a homologous template to guide repair. The most common form of HDR is homologous recombination (HR), a type of genetic recombination in which nucleotide sequences are exchanged between two similar or identical molecules of DNA. As used herein, the term “nonhomologous end joining” or “NHEJ” refers to a pathway that repairs double-strand DNA breaks in which the break ends are directly ligated without the need for a homologous template. As used herein, the term “genome editing” refers to a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, replaced, or removed from a target DNA, e.g., the genome of a cell, using one or more nucleases and / or nickases. The nucleases may create specific double-strand breaks (DSBs) at desired locations in the genome and harness the cell's endogenous mechanisms to repair the induced break by HDR (e.g., homologous recombination) or by NHEJ. The nickases create specific single-strand breaks at desired locations in the genome. In one non-limiting example, two nickases can be used to create two single strand breaks on opposite strands of a target DNA, thereby generating a blunt or a sticky end. Any suitable nuclease can be introduced into a cell to induce genome editing of a target DNA sequence including, but not limited to, CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) nucleases, zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), meganucleases, other endo- or exo-nucleases, variants thereof, fragments thereof, and combinations thereof. In particular embodiments, nuclease-mediated genome editing of a target DNA sequence can be “induced” or “modulated” ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO (e.g., enhanced) using the modified single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) described herein in combination with Cas nucleases (e.g., Cas12a polypeptides, Cas12a mRNA, hyperCas12a polypeptides, hyperCas12a mRNA), e.g., to improve the efficiency of precise genome editing via HDR or by NHEJ. “Genome editing” also refers to base editing and prime editing. As used herein, the term “Multiplex Genome editing” refers to multiplex editing in which numerous (2 or more) guide RNAs or Cas enzymes are expressed at once. Multiplex editing can result from the delivery of a Cas protein or Cas mRNA along with a single crRNA that is cleaved into multiple gRNAs by the Cas protein, for example, a Cas12 protein. Multiplex editing can result in upregulation, downregulation, or modulation, or silencing of multiple genetic targets. As used herein, the term “HyperCas12a” refers to a Cas12a harboring four mutations (D156R, D235R, E292R and D350R) as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, a novel codon optimized version of the hyperCas12a described in the published manuscript “Multiplexed genome regulation in vivo with hyper-efficient Cas12a. Nature Cell Biology. Vol 24. April 2022.590-600), the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. As used herein, the term “HyperdCas12a” refers to the nuclease-deactivated version of hyperCas12a as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2. As used herein, the term “protospacer” or “target sequence” refers to a nucleic acid sequence that is complementary and binds to the complementary strand of the target gene. A spacer can be within a guide nucleic acid. As used herein, the term “base editing” refers to genetic engineering in which one or more nucleotides are inserted, replaced, or removed from a genome. In some embodiments, a base editor system comprises a (i) a guide polynucleotide (crRNA) or a nucleic acid encoding the same, and (ii) a base editor fusion protein comprising a programmable DNA binding domain and a deaminase, or a nucleic acid encoding the same. As used herein, the term “base editor” refers to an agent that binds to a polynucleotide and has nucleobase modifying activity. A base editor can comprise a nucleic acid programable nucleotide binding domain in conjunction with a deaminase enzyme. The DNA binding domain ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO can be fused or linked to a deaminase domain, resulting in a base editor fusion protein, for example an mRNA encoding the base editor fusion protein. Base editors include cytosine base editors, which substitute a cytosine base for a thymine (C->T) or adenine base editors which substitute an adenine for a guanine (A->G). Base editors may comprise proteins or mRNA encoding proteins. As used herein, the term “base editor system” refers to a gene editing system for editing a single nucleobase of a target nucleotide sequence. A base editor system may comprise a polynucleotide programmable nucleotide binding domain (for example, hyperCas12), a deaminase domain, and a guide polynucleotide (example, crRNA). In some embodiments the base editor is an adenine or adenosine base editor (ABE). In some embodiments, the base editor is a cytosine base editor (CBE). In some embodiments, the base editor comprises mRNA. In various embodiments, the base editor comprises a nucleobase modifying polypeptide (e.g., a deaminase) and a polynucleotide programmable nucleotide binding domain in conjunction with a guide polynucleotide (e.g., guide RNA). In various embodiments, the agent is a biomolecular complex comprising a protein domain having base editing activity, i.e., a domain capable of modifying a base (e.g., A, T, C, G, or U) within a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., DNA).

In one embodiment, the agent is a fusion protein comprising one or more domains having base editing activity. In another embodiment, the protein domains having base editing activity are linked to the guide RNA (e.g., via an RNA binding motif on the guide RNA and an RNA binding domain fused to the deaminase). In some embodiments, the domains having base editing activity are capable of deaminating a base within a nucleic acid molecule. In some embodiments, the base editor is capable of deaminating one or more bases within a DNA molecule. In some embodiments, the base editor is capable of deaminating a cytosine (C) or an adenosine (A) within DNA.

In some embodiments, the base editor is a nuclease-inactive Cas (e.g., dCAS12, dCas9) fused to an adenosine deaminase. In some embodiments, the base editor is fused to an inhibitor of base excision repair, for example, a UGI domain, or a dISN domain. In some embodiments, the fusion protein comprises a Cas (e.g., Cas12) nickase fused to a deaminase and an inhibitor of base excision repair, such as a UGI or dISN domain. In other ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO embodiments the base editor is an abasic base editor. Details of base editors are described in International PCT Application Nos. PCT / 2017 / 045381 (WO2018 / 027078) and PCT / US2016 / 058344 (WO2017 / 070632), each of which is incorporated herein by reference for its entirety.

Base Editing Activity: By “base editing activity” is meant acting to chemically alter a base within a polynucleotide (e.g., by deaminating the base). In one embodiment, a first base is converted to a second base. In one embodiment, the base editing activity is cytidine deaminase activity, e.g., converting target C·G to T·A. In another embodiment, the base editing activity is adenosine or adenine deaminase activity, e.g., converting A·T to G·C. In another embodiment, the base editing activity is cytidine deaminase activity, e.g., converting target C·G to T·A and adenosine or adenine deaminase activity, e.g., converting A·T to G·C. Base Editor System: The term “base editor system” refers to a system for editing a nucleobase of a target nucleotide sequence. In various embodiments, the base editor (BE) system comprises (1) a polynucleotide programmable nucleotide binding domain (e.g., Cas9), a deaminase domain and a cytidine deaminase domain for deaminating nucleobases in the target nucleotide sequence; and (2) one or more guide polynucleotides (e.g., guide RNA) in conjunction with the polynucleotide programmable nucleotide binding domain. In various embodiments, the base editor (BE) system comprises a nucleobase editor domain selected from an adenosine deaminase or a cytidine deaminase, and a domain having nucleic acid sequence specific binding activity. In some embodiments, the base editor system comprises (1) a base editor (BE) comprising a polynucleotide programmable DNA binding domain and a deaminase domain for deaminating one or more nucleobases in a target nucleotide sequence; and (2) one or more guide RNAs in conjunction with the polynucleotide programmable DNA binding domain. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide programmable nucleotide binding ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO domain is a polynucleotide programmable DNA binding domain. In some embodiments, the base editor is a cytidine base editor (CBE). In some embodiments, the base editor is an adenine or adenosine base editor (ABE). In some embodiments, the base editor is an adenine or adenosine base editor (ABE) or a cytidine base editor (CBE). As used herein, the term “prime editing” refers to a genome editing that enables direct, irreversible targeted small insertions, deletions and base swapping without requiring double stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) or donor DNA. This method of nucleic acid editing uses a catalytically impaired Cas endonuclease fused to an engineered reverse transcriptase, programmed with a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA). (Anzalone A et al. Search-and-replace genome editing without double-strand breaks or donor DNA. Nature 2019: 576.149-157) As used herein, the term “expression” or “expressed” as used herein in reference to a gene means the transcriptional and / or translational product of that gene. The level of expression of a DNA molecule in a cell may be determined on the basis of either the amount of corresponding mRNA that is present within the cell or the amount of protein encoded by that DNA produced by the cell (Sambrook et al., 1989, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 18.1-18.88). The level may also be influenced by gene repression, activation, or termination secondary to genome editing. Expression of a transfected gene can occur transiently or stably in a cell. During “transient expression” the transfected gene is not transferred to the daughter cell during cell division. Since its expression is restricted to the transfected cell, expression of the gene is lost over time. In contrast, stable expression of a transfected gene can occur when the gene is co-transfected with another gene that confers a selection advantage to the transfected cell. Such a selection advantage may be a resistance towards a certain toxin that is presented to the cell. As used herein, the term “plasmid” refers to a nucleic acid molecule that encodes for genes and / or regulatory elements necessary for the expression of genes. Expression of a gene from a plasmid can occur in cis or in trans. If a gene is expressed in cis, gene and regulatory elements are encoded by the same plasmid. Expression in trans refers to the instance where the gene and the regulatory elements are encoded by separate plasmids. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO As used herein, the term “exogenous” refers to a molecule or substance (e.g., nucleic acid or protein) that originates from outside a given cell or organism. Conversely, the term “endogenous” refers to a molecule or substance that is native to, or originates within, a given cell or organism. As used herein, the term “codon-optimized” refers to genes or coding regions of nucleic acid molecules for transformation of various hosts, refers to the alteration of codons in the gene or coding regions of the nucleic acid molecules to reflect the typical codon usage of the host organism without altering the polypeptide encoded by the DNA. Such optimization includes replacing at least one, or more than one, or a significant number, of codons with one or more codons that are more frequently used in the genes of that organism. Given the large number of gene sequences available for a wide variety of animal, plant and microbial species, it is possible to calculate the relative frequencies of codon usage. Codon usage tables are readily available, for example, at the “Codon Usage Database” available at www.kazusa.or.jp / codon / . By utilizing the knowledge on codon usage or codon preference in each organism, one of ordinary skill in the art can apply the frequencies to any given polypeptide sequence and produce a nucleic acid fragment of a codon-optimized coding region which encodes the polypeptide, but which uses codons optimal for a given species. Codon-optimized coding regions can be designed by various methods known to those skilled in the art. As used herein, the term “vector” refers to a macromolecule or association of macromolecules that comprises or associates with a polynucleotide and which can be used to mediate delivery of the polynucleotide to a cell. Illustrative vectors include, for example, plasmids, viral vectors (virus or the viral genome thereof), liposomes, nanoparticles, lipid nanoparticles (LNP), virus like particles (VLP), charge altering releasable transporter (CART) vectors, and other gene delivery vehicles. These include, but are not limited to the pEPI vectors, pEPito vectors, AR-free miniplasmids, pORT vectors, pCOR vectors, pFAR vectors, post-segregational killing (PSK) systems, RNA IN / RNA OUT systems, RNAI / RNAII systems, overexpression systems, circular covalently closed vectors, minicircle vectors, minivectors, miniknot vectors, linear covalently closed vectors (dumbbell-shaped), MIDGE systems, MiLV systems, Ministring systems, and Mini-intronic plasmids. Additional details on these and other systems can be found in the article by Hardee CL et al (Advances in non-viral DNA vectors for gene therapy. Genes (Basel).2017 Feb; 8(2). Doi: 10.3390 / genes8020065), the entirety of which is incorporate herein by reference. Some vectors described herein contain a scaffold / matrix attachment region (S / MAR), derived ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO from the human interferon β-gene. Other authors have shown the involvement of the S / MARs in DNA duplex destabilization and strand opening, suggesting these sequences to be involved in DNA replication and gene expression. Additionally, it was shown that the S / MAR-containing vectors prevent epigenetic silencing of gene expression by shielding the transgene sequence from adjacent regulatory sequences and heterochromatinization, maintaining the vector in a transcriptionally active state leading to sustained protein expression. The terms “transfection”, “transduction”, “transfecting” or “transducing” can be used interchangeably and are defined as a process of introducing a nucleic acid molecule and / or a protein to a cell. Nucleic acids may be introduced to a cell using non-viral or viral-based methods. The nucleic acid molecule can be a sequence encoding complete proteins or functional portions thereof. Typically, a nucleic acid vector, having the elements necessary for protein expression (e.g., a promoter, transcription start site, etc.). Non-viral methods of transfection include any appropriate method that does not use viral DNA or viral particles as a delivery system to introduce the nucleic acid molecule into the cell. Exemplary non-viral transfection methods include calcium phosphate transfection, liposomal transfection, nucleofection, sonoporation, transfection through heat shock, magnetifection, nanoparticles, lipid nanoparticles, virus-like particles, charge altering releasable transporters, nucleic acid binding peptides, cell penetrating peptides, and electroporation. The terms “transfection” or “transduction” also refer to introducing proteins into a cell from the external environment. Typically, transduction or transfection of a protein relies on attachment of a peptide or protein capable of crossing the cell membrane to the protein of interest. See, e.g., Ford et al. (2001) Gene Therapy 8:1-4 and Prochiantz (2007) Nat. Methods 4:119-20. As used herein, the term “expression vector” refers to a vector comprising a region which encodes a gene product of interest and is used for effecting the expression of a gene product in an intended target cell. An expression vector also comprises control elements operatively linked to the encoding region to facilitate expression of the protein in the target. The combination of control elements and a gene or genes to which they are operably linked for expression is sometimes referred to as an “expression cassette,” many which are known and available in the art or can be readily constructed from components that are available in the art. As used herein, the term “expression” refers to the transcription and / or translation of a coding sequence, e.g. an endogenous gene, a heterologous gene, in a cell. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO As used herein, the term “gene product” refers the desired expression product of a polynucleotide sequence such as a polypeptide, peptide, protein including CRISPR protein, or RNA including, for example, a ribozyme, short interfering RNA (siRNA), crRNA, sgRNA, miRNA or small hairpin RNA (shRNA). The terms “polypeptide,” “peptide,” and “protein” are used interchangeably herein to refer to polymers of amino acids of any length. The terms also encompass an amino acid polymer that has been modified; for example, disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, lipidation, phosphorylation, or conjugation with a labeling component. As used herein, the terms “operatively linked” or “operably linked” refers to a juxtaposition of genetic elements on a single polynucleotide, wherein the elements are in a relationship permitting them to operate in the expected manner. For instance, a promoter is operatively linked to a coding region if the promoter helps initiate transcription of the coding sequence. There may be intervening residues between the promoter and coding region so long as this functional relationship is maintained. The combination of control elements, e.g. promoter, enhancer(s), etc. and a gene or genes to which they are operably linked for expression is sometimes referred to as an “expression cassette,” a large number of which are known and available in the art or can be readily constructed from components that are available in the art. As used herein, the term "promoter" generally refers to a DNA sequence that contains an RNA polymerase binding site, transcription start site, and / or TATA box and assists or promotes the transcription and expression of an associated transcribable polynucleotide sequence and / or gene (or transgene). A promoter can be synthetically produced, varied, or derived from a known or naturally occurring promoter sequence or other promoter sequence. A promoter can also include a chimeric promoter comprising a combination of two or more heterologous sequences. A promoter of the present application can thus include variants of promoter sequences that are similar in composition but not identical to other promoter sequence(s) known or provided herein. A promoter can be classified according to a variety of criteria relating to the pattern of expression of an associated coding or transcribable sequence or gene (including a transgene) operably linked to the promoter, such as constitutive, developmental, tissue-specific, inducible, etc. Promoters that drive expression in all or most tissues of the plant are referred to as "constitutive" promoters. Promoters that drive expression during certain periods or stages of development are referred to as "developmental" promoters. Promoters that drive enhanced expression in certain tissues of the plant relative to other plant tissues are referred to as "tissue- ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO enhanced" or "tissue-preferred" promoters. Thus, a "tissue-preferred" promoter causes relatively higher or preferential expression in specific tissue(s) of the plant but with lower levels of expression in other tissues of the plant. Promoters that express within specific tissue(s) of the plant, with little or no expression in other plant tissues, are referred to as "tissue-specific" promoters. An "inducible" promoter is a promoter that initiates transcription in response to an environmental stimulus such as cold, drought, or light, or other stimuli, such as wounding or chemical application. A non-limiting exemplary inducible promoter includes a TRE promoter. A promoter can also be classified in terms of its origin, such as being heterologous, homologous, chimeric, synthetic, etc. A "heterologous" promoter is a promoter sequence having a different origin relative to its associated transcribable sequence, coding sequence, or gene (or transgene), and / or not naturally occurring in the plant species to be transformed. In some embodiments, the promoter can be a polymerase I promoter. Non-limiting exemplary polymerase I promoters include a CAG promoter, PGK promoter, CMV promoter, EF1α promoter, SV40 promoter, and Ubc promoter, ligand-inducible promoters (e.g., those can be conditionally activated by NFκB, NFAT, or externally supplied chemical compounds). In some embodiments, the CAG promoter is synthetic. In other embodiments, the promoter can be a polymerase III promoter. Non-limiting exemplary polymerase III promoters include the mouse U6 promoter, the human U6 promoter, the H1 promoter, and the 7SK promoter. In some embodiments, the vector provided herein further comprises a reporter gene. For example, the reporter gene can be, without limitations, BFP, GFP, and mCherry. A skilled person knows how to choose or design reporter genes. By an “enhancer” it is generally meant a cis-acting regulatory element that stimulates, i.e. promotes or enhances, transcription of an adjacent gene or genes. By a “silencer” it is meant a cis-acting regulatory element that inhibits, i.e. reduces or suppresses, transcription of an adjacent gene, e.g. by actively interfering with general transcription factor assembly or by inhibiting other regulatory elements, e.g. enhancers, associated with the gene. Enhancers can function (i.e., can be associated with a coding sequence) in either orientation, over distances of up to several kilobase pairs (kb) from the coding sequence and from a position downstream of a transcribed region. Enhancer sequences influence promoter-dependent gene expression and may be located in the 5′ or 3′ regions of the native gene. Enhancer sequences may or may not be contiguous with the promoter sequence. Likewise, enhancer sequences may or may not be ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO immediately adjacent to the gene sequence. For example, an enhancer sequence may be several thousand base pairs from the promoter and / or gene sequence. A host cell as used herein can be a eukaryotic cell or prokaryotic cell. Non-limiting examples of eukaryotic cells include animal cells, plant cells, and fungal cells. In some embodiments, the eukaryotic cell comprises CHO, primary human hepatocyte, Vero, Cos7, Sp2 / 0, MEL, COS, and insect cells. In some embodiments, the eukaryotic cell comprises mammalian cells. In some embodiments, the eukaryotic cell comprises human cells. In some embodiments, the prokaryotic cell comprises E. coli. A “termination signal sequence” within the meaning of the invention may be any genetic element that causes RNA polymerase to terminate transcription, such as for example a polyadenylation signal sequence. A polyadenylation signal sequence is a recognition region necessary for endonuclease cleavage of an RNA transcript that is followed by the polyadenylation consensus sequence AATAAA. A polyadenylation signal sequence provides a “polyA site”, i.e. a site on a RNA transcript to which adenine residues will be added by post-transcriptional polyadenylation. The terms “identical” or percent “identity” in the context of two or more nucleotide sequences that are the same or have a specified percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides that are the same, when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence, as measured using one of the sequence comparison algorithms described herein, e.g. the Smith-Waterman algorithm, or by visual inspection. As used herein, the term “sequence identity” refers to the degree of identify between nucleotides in two or more aligned sequences, when aligned using a sequence alignment program. The term “% homology” is used interchangeably herein with the term “% identity” herein and refers to the level of nucleic acid or amino acid sequence identity between two or more aligned sequences, when aligned using a sequence alignment program. For example, as used herein, 80% homology means the same thing as 80% sequence identity determined by a defined algorithm, and accordingly a homologue of a given sequence has greater than 80% sequence identity over a length of the given sequence. Sequence identity may be determined by aligning sequences using any of a number of publicly available alignment algorithm tools, e.g., the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math.2: 482 (1981), the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, J Mol. Biol.48: 443 (1970), the search ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO for similarity method of Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA 85: 2444 (1988), computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, Wis.), by the BLAST algorithm, Altschul et al., J Mol. Biol.215: 403-410 (1990), with software that is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / ), or by visual inspection (see generally, Ausubel et al., infra).

ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO DETAILED DESCRIPTION Methods of editing one or more cardiovascular disease implicated genomic regions of a cell are provided. Aspects of the methods include introducing into a cell: a HyperCas12 nuclease or nucleic acid encoding the same; and a gRNA comprising two or more targeting sequences to edit the one or more cardiovascular disease implicated genomic regions of the cell. Also provided are compositions for practicing embodiments of the methods. The methods and compositions find use in a variety of different applications, including treatment of cardiovascular disease. The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for targeted genomic editing. As used herein, genome editing refers to any change in the genome of a cell in a living organism. Genome (or gene) editing may include insertion, deletion, or translocation. Insertion means the addition of one or more nucleotides in a DNA sequence. Insertions can range from a single insertion, to the insertion of an entire gene. In some embodiments, an insertion can be larger than an entire gene. Deletions refer to a removal of one or more nucleotides in a DNA sequence or removal of a function of a gene. In some embodiments, a deletion can include a single nucleotide, loss of a few nucleotides, deletion of an exon, deletion of an intron, deletion of gene regulatory elements, or the entire gene sequence. In some examples, deletion of a gene refers to reduction or elimination of the function of a gene or its gene product. This can result from insertions or nonsense mutations that disrupt the expression of a gene. Gene or genome correction refers to changing a nucleotide or number of nucleotides to restore the “wild-type” gene sequence, restoring the structure and function of a gene and allowing for normal expression of its gene product. Correction of gene mutations can be achieved by various strategies including base editing, prime editing, and gene editing or gene replacement. Another form of gene editing includes removal or truncation of repeat expansions, such as those seen in trinucleotide repeat disorders. In certain contexts, modifications may encompass gene manipulation techniques such as knock-ins, knockouts, or knockdowns. As defined in this context, a "knock-in" involves the introduction of a DNA sequence or its fragment into a genome. The DNA sequences intended for knock-ins may comprise complete genes, regulatory sequences associated with a gene, or ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO any segment or fragment thereof. For instance, one may insert a cDNA encoding the wild-type protein into the genome of a cell containing a mutant gene, illustrating that knock-in strategies do not necessarily replace the defective gene entirely. In some scenarios, a knock-in approach might additionally involve substituting an existing sequence with the provided one, such as replacing a mutant allele with a wild-type copy. Conversely, the term "knock-out" pertains to the elimination of a gene or its expression. This elimination can occur through deletion or addition of a nucleotide sequence leading to a disruption of the reading frame. Alternatively, a gene may be knocked out by replacing part of it with an irrelevant sequence. Finally, the term "knock-down," as used in this context, denotes the reduction in the expression of a gene or its gene products. A gene knock-down may result in the attenuation of protein activity or function, leading to a decrease or elimination of protein levels. Genome editing broadly refers to the process of modifying the nucleotide sequence of a genome, in some instances with precision or in a predetermined manner. Methods of genome editing, as described herein, encompass the use of site-directed nucleases to cleave deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) at specific target locations within the genome, leading to the creation of single-strand or double-strand DNA breaks at defined locations. These breaks are commonly repaired by natural, endogenous cellular processes, such as homology-directed repair (HDR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), as outlined by Cox et al. in Nature Medicine 21(2), 121-31 (2015). HDR employs a homologous sequence, or donor sequence, as a template for inserting a defined DNA sequence at the break point. The homologous sequence can be within the endogenous genome, like a sister chromatid, or an exogenous nucleic acid, such as a plasmid, single-strand or double-strand oligonucleotide, duplex oligonucleotide, or a virus. This donor sequence possesses regions of high homology with the nuclease-cleaved locus, potentially containing additional sequence changes, including deletions that can be incorporated into the cleaved target locus. NHEJ directly joins the DNA ends resulting from a double-strand break, potentially causing the loss or addition of nucleotide sequences, thereby impacting gene expression. A third repair mechanism, microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ), also known as "Alternative NHEJ," yields outcomes similar to NHEJ, with small deletions and insertions at the cleavage site. MMEJ leverages homologous sequences of a few base pairs flanking the DNA break site to drive a more favored DNA end-joining repair outcome. Reports have further elucidated the molecular mechanism of this process; refer to Cho and Greenberg, Nature 518, 174-76 (2015); Kent et al., Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, Adv. Online doi:10.1038 / nsmb.2961 (2015); Mateos-Gomez et al., Nature 518, 254-57 (2015); ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO Ceccaldi et al., Nature 528, 258-62 (2015). In specific instances, it may be feasible to predict likely repair outcomes by analyzing potential microhomologies at the DNA break site. Any of the described genome editing mechanisms can be used to create desired genomic alterations. The gene editing process can include the intentional creation of single or double stranded DNA breaks in a target gene or regulatory sequence of the target gene. This can be achieved via site-directed nucleotides, such as crRNA and gRNAs and described herein. CRISPR-Cas Systems: CRISPR-Cas systems are categorizable into two classes, namely Class 1 and Class 2, encompassing six types denoted as I through VI, along with various subtypes. Class 1 systems (Type I, III, and IV) are characterized by multi-Cas protein effector complexes, whereas Class 2 systems (Type II, V, and VI) feature a singular effector protein (Xu et al. CRISPR-Cas systems: overview, innovations and applications in human disease research and gene therapy. Comput Struct Biotechnol J.2020; 18:2401-2415). A CRISPR locus consists of a series of concise repeating sequences known as "repeats." Upon expression, these repeats can adopt secondary structures, such as hairpins, and / or consist of unstructured single-stranded sequences. Typically occurring in clusters, these repeats often exhibit variations between species. The repeats are interspersed with distinctive intervening sequences termed "spacers," forming a repeat-spacer-repeat locus architecture. The spacers demonstrate identical or high homology with recognized sequences from foreign invaders. Each spacer-repeat unit encodes a crisprRNA (crRNA), which undergoes processing to yield a mature form of the spacer-repeat unit. A crRNA encompasses a "seed" or spacer sequence crucial for targeting a specific nucleic acid (in prokaryotes' natural state, the spacer sequence directs attention to foreign invader nucleic acids). Positioned at either the 5′ or 3′ end of the crRNA, the spacer sequence plays a central role in the CRISPR mechanism. A CRISPR locus also comprises polynucleotide sequences encoding CRISPR associated (Cas) genes. Cas genes encode endonucleases that interface with crRNA in cells. Some Cas genes comprise secondary and tertiary structures that may improve stability. Type II Systems ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO Type II CRISPR systems require trans-activating CRISPR RNA (tracrRNA). Cas9 is a type II CRISPR system. TracrRNA is modified by endogenous RNaseIII, and then hybridizes to a crRNA repeat in the pre-crRNA array. The crRNA guides the crRNA-tracrRNA-Cas9 complex to the target nucleic acid to which it will hybridize. The target nucleic acid is referred to as a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM). The PAM sequence is G-rich. The PAM is essential to facilitate binding of the site-specific endonuclease (Cas) to its target nucleic acid sequence. Type V CRISPR systems have several key differences compared to type II systems. Perhaps most importantly, Cas12 comprises RNase activity, and does not utilize tracrRNA. Cas12 arrays (crRNA) can be processed into short, mature crRNAs (gRNAs) after delivery into a cell. Cas12a nucleases are also known as Cpfl) and include Acidaminococcus Cas12a (AsCas12a) and Lachnospiraceae bacterium Cas 12a (LbCas12a). Cas12 systems utilizes a T-rich PAM and cleave at a point that is comparatively distant from the PAM, whereas type II systems cleave at a point adjacent to the PAM. The crRNA tends to be short, in some cases 19 to 23 nucleotides in length with a spacers sequence that is about 20 nucleotides long. Cas12 cleaves DNA via a staggered DNA double-stranded break. Exemplary CRISPR / Cas polypeptides include the Cas12 polypeptide “hyperCas12”, a mutated Cas12 engineered to have superior properties as described herein. HyperCas12: As described herein, Cas12a allows for processing of a poly-crRNA into individual crRNAs (guide RNAs) to enable multiplexing. However, while Cas12a has shown some utility in vivo, its editing efficiency in vivo lags Cas9 orthologs and limits its applicability in therapeutic development. Enhanced version of Cas12, including AsCas12a, offer only marginal improvements on Cas12a. HyperCas12a enables simultaneous genome modulation at multiple genomic loci, enabling CRISPR-based treatment of polygenic diseases, which affect a large percentage of patients globally. In some embodiments, the present disclosure demonstrates the superior CRISPR gene editing activity of hyperCas12a. Further, by way of example, the present disclosure demonstrates that the hyperCas12a provided herein is useful for additional Cas12a-based applications, including CRISPR repression, base editing and prime editing. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO The present disclosure also demonstrates that activity-enhancing mutations provided herein, when introduced into the nuclease-active form of Cas12a, enhance gene editing. In some exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure shows that the hyperCas12a described herein effectively gene edits and silences endogenous genes and exhibits synergistic endogenous gene silencing. In other exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure demonstrates the enhanced multiplex silencing of endogenous genes driven by the hyperCas12a described herein. Moreover, the engineered Cas12a proteins and systems described herein can be useful as a platform for regenerative biology and therapy. For example, there is high interest in the direct reprogramming of lineage-determined cells from one cell fate to another as a therapeutic strategy for the loss of a certain cell population in diseases. The engineered Cas12a proteins and systems described herein enable the simultaneous manipulation of the endogenous expression of a slew of fate-determining transcription factors, which will have wide applicability for regenerative biology. Furthermore, the engineered Cas12a proteins and systems described herein can be used in an organoid context. Additionally, the engineered Cas12a proteins and systems described herein are useful for cell therapy. For instance, recognition of tumor- associated antigens is a pillar of immunotherapy, and multiplex CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) can be used to augment the expression of tumor antigens, especially those that may be lowly expressed (or downregulated) at a level that would bypass an effective T-cell-mediated response. Engineered Cas12 In some embodiments, the Cas protein is a Cas12a. Cas12a is an RNA-programmable DNA endonuclease with intrinsic RNase activity that allows processing of its own crRNA array, enabling multigene editing from a single RNA transcript. Typically, a Cas12a nuclease binds double-stranded DNAs (dsDNA). Cas12a (also known as Cpf1) is a Class 2, Type V RNA- guided endonuclease from the CRISPR system. Variants from several species have been characterized. It catalyzes site-specific cleavage of double-stranded DNA at sites with a TTTV (where V is A, C, or G) PAM. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides engineered Cas12a proteins for multiplex CRISPR-based genetic modulation. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO The engineered Cas12a protein provided herein can be nuclease active (i.e., having the Cas12a nuclease activity) or nuclease dead (i.e., not having the Cas12a nuclease activity). The loss of nuclease activity can be the result of mutations. In some embodiments, the engineered Cas12a protein is a deactivated Cas protein. As used herein, a "deactivated Cas protein" (dCas) refers to a nuclease comprising a domain that retains the ability to bind its target nucleic acid but has a diminished or eliminated ability to cleave a nucleic acid molecule, as compared to a control nuclease. In certain embodiments, a catalytically inactive nuclease is derived from a "wild-type" Cas protein, referring to a naturally occurring nuclease. A catalytically inactive Cas12a can produce a nick in the targeting DNA strand. In some embodiments, the catalytically inactive Cas12a can produce a nick in the non- targeting DNA strand. In some embodiments, the catalytically inactive Cas12a, referred to as nuclease dead Cas12a (dCas12a), lacks all DNase activity. In some aspects, the engineered Cas12a proteins are variants of nuclease dead Cas12a from Lachnospiraceae bacterium (ArCas12a). In an exemplary embodiment, the engineered Cas12a protein is a quadruple dCas12a mutant protein having the D156R, D235R, E292R, and D350R mutations, also called "hyperdCas12a" or "hyperdCas12a" for short. The engineered Cas12a proteins provided herein exhibit minimal off-target effects compared to the wild-type Cas12a protein. Further, the hyperdCas12a provided herein has enhanced function in gene activation, repression, and base editing. In some embodiments, the engineered Cas12a proteins are variants of the nuclease-active Cas12a from Lachnospiraceae bacterium (LbCas12a). In an exemplary embodiment, the engineered Cas12a protein is a quadruple dCas12a mutant protein having the D156R, D235R, E292R, and D350R mutations.

Base Editing The systems disclosed herein can be used for base editing (see, e.g., Anzalone, A. V., et al., Nat. Biotechnol.38, 824-844 (2020), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Cas nuclease used as a base editor for base editing is discussed in more detail below. There are generally three classes of base editors: cytosine base editors (CBEs), adenine base editors (ABEs), and dual-deaminase editor (also called SPACE, synchronous programmable adenine and cytosine editor). Base editing requires a nickase or nuclease fused or coupled to a deaminase that makes the edit, a gRNA targeting the nuclease to a specific locus, and a target base for editing within the editing window specified by the nuclease. Cytosine base editors (CBEs) uses a cytidine deaminase coupled with an inactive nuclease. These fusions convert cytosine to uracil without cutting DNA. Uracil is then subsequently converted to thymine through DNA replication or repair. Fusing an inhibitor of uracil DNA ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO glycosylase (UGI) to a nuclease prevents base excision repair which changes the U back to a C mutation. To increase base editing efficiency, the cell can be forced to use the deaminated DNA strand as a template by using a nuclease nickase, instead of a nuclease. The resulting editor, can nick the unmodified DNA strand so that it appears “newly synthesized” to the cell. Thus, the cell repairs the DNA using the U-containing strand as a template, copying the base edit. Adenine base editors (ABEs) can convert adenine to inosine, resulting in an A to G change. Creating an adenine base editor requires an additional step because there are no known DNA adenine deaminases. Directed evolution can be used to create one from the RNA adenine deaminase TadA. While cytosine base editors often produce a mixed population of edits, some ABEs do not display significant A to non-G conversion at target loci. The removal of inosine from DNA is likely infrequent, thus preventing the induction of base excision repair. In terms of off-target effects, ABEs also generally compare favorably to other methods. Suitable target nucleic acids will be readily apparent to one of skill in the art depending on the particular need or outcome. The target nucleic acid may be in, for example, a region of euchromatin (e.g., highly expressed gene), or the target nucleic acid may be in a region of heterochromatin (e.g., centromere DNA). A target nucleic acid of the present disclosure may be methylated or it may be unmethylated. The target gene can be any target gene used and / or known in the art. Prime Editing Prime editing is a versatile and precise genome editing method that directly writes new genetic information into a specified DNA site. Such method is explained fully in the literature (see, e.g., Anzalone, A. V., et al. Nature 576, 149-157 (2019). Prime editing uses a catalytically-impaired Cas endonuclease (e.g., Cas9, Cas12) that is fused to an engineered reverse transcriptase (RT) and programmed with a prime-editing guide RNA (pegRNA). The skilled person in the art would appreciate that the pegRNA both specifies the target site and encodes the desired edit. The catalytically-impaired Cas endonuclease also comprises a Cas nickase that is fused to the reverse transcriptase. During genetic editing, the Cas nickase part of the protein is guided to the DNA target site by the pegRNA. The reverse transcriptase domain then uses the pegRNA to template reverse transcription of the desired edit, directly polymerizing DNA onto the nicked ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO target DNA strand. The edited DNA strand replaces the original DNA strand, creating a heteroduplex containing one edited strand and one unedited strand. Afterward, the prime editor (PE) guides resolution of the heteroduplex to favor copying the edit onto the unedited strand, completing the process. The prime editors refer to a Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (M-MLV) reverse transcriptase (RT) fused to a Cas nickase. Fusing the RT to the C-terminus of the Cas nickase may result in higher editing efficiency. An example of such a complex is called PE1, e.g., where Cas9(H840A) is fused to M-MLV The Cas9(H840A) can also be linked to a non-M-MLV reverse transcriptase such as a AMV-RT or XRT (Cas9(H840A)-AMV-RT or XRT). The Cas 9(H840A) can be replaced with Cas12a / b or Cas9(D10A). A Cas9 (wild type), Cas9(H840A), Cas9(D10A) or Cas 12a / b nickase fused to a pentamutant of M-MLV RT (D200N / L603W / T330P / T306K / W313F), having up to about 45-fold higher efficiency is called PE2. The M-MLV RT can comprise one or more of the mutations Y8H, P51L, S56A, S67R, E69K, V129P, T197A, H204R, V223H, T246E, N249D, E286R, Q291L, E302K, E302R, F309N, M320L, P330E, L435G, L435R, N454K, D524A, D524G, D524N, E562Q, D583N, H594Q, E607K, D653N, and L671P. The reverse transcriptase can also be a wild-type or modified transcription xenopolymerase (RTX), avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase (AMV-RT), Feline Immunodeficiency Virus reverse transcriptase (FIV-RT), FeLV-RT (Feline leukemia virus reverse transcriptase), HIV-RT (Human Immunodeficiency Virus reverse transcriptase). PE3 involves nicking the non-edited strand, potentially causing the cell to remake that strand using the edited strand as the template to induce HR. The nicking of the non-edited strand can involve the use of a nicking guide RNA (ngRNA). Nicking the non-edited strand can increase editing efficiency. For example, nicking the non- edited strand can increase editing efficiency by about 1.1 fold, about 1.3 fold, about 1.5 fold, about 1.7 fold, about 1.9 fold, about 2.1 fold, about 2.3 fold, about 2.5 fold, about 2.7 fold, about 2.9 fold, about 3.1 fold, about 3.3 fold, about 3.5 fold, about 3.7 fold, about 3.9 fold, 4.1 fold, about 4.3 fold, about 4.5 fold, about 4.7 fold, about 4.9 fold, or any range that is formed from any two of those values as endpoints. Although the optimal nicking position varies depending on the genomic site, nicks positioned 3′ of the edit about 40 to about 90 bp from the pegRNA-induced nick can generally increase editing efficiency without excess indel formation. The prime editing practice allows starting with ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO non-edited strand nicks about 50 bp from the pegRNA-mediated nick, and testing alternative nick locations if indel frequencies exceed acceptable levels. The guide RNA can guide the insertion or deletion of one or more genes of interest or one or more nucleic acid sequences of interest into a target genome. The gRNA can also refer to a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA), a nicking guide RNA (ngRNA), a single guide RNA (sgRNA), and the like. The pegRNA and the like refer to an extended sgRNA comprising a primer binding site (PBS), a reverse transcriptase (RT) template sequence, and an integration site sequence that can be recognized by recombinases, integrases, or transposases. For example, the PBS can have a length of at least about 4 nt, 5 nt, 6 nt, 7 nt, 8 nt, 9 nt, 10 nt, 11 nt, 12 nt, 13 nt, 14 nt, 15 nt, 16 nt, 17 nt, 18 nt, 19 nt, 20 nt, 21 nt, 22 nt, 23 nt, 24 nt, 25 nt, 26 nt, 27 nt, 28 nt, 29 nt, 30 nt, or more nt.

For example, the RT template sequence can have a length of at least about 4 nt, 5 nt, 6 nt, 7 nt, 8 nt, 9 nt, 10 nt, 11 nt, 12 nt, 13 nt, 14 nt, 15 nt, 16 nt, 17 nt, 18 nt, 19 nt, 20 nt, 21 nt, 22 nt, 23 nt, 24 nt, 25 nt, 26 nt, 27 nt, 28 nt, 29 nt, 30 nt, 31 nt, 32 nt, 33 nt, 34 nt, 35 nt, 36 nt, 37 nt, 38 nt, 39 nt, 40 nt, 41 nt, 42 nt, 43 nt, 44 nt, 45 nt, 46 nt, 47 nt, 48 nt, 49 nt, 50 nt, or more nt, For example, the RT template sequence can have a length of about 4 nt, 5 nt, 6 nt, 7 nt, 8 nt, 9 nt, 10 nt, 11 nt, 12 nt, 13 nt, 14 nt, 15 nt, 16 nt, 17 nt, 18 nt, 19 nt, 20 nt, 21 nt, 22 nt, 23 nt, 24 nt, 25 nt, 26 nt, 27 nt, 28 nt, 29 nt, 30 nt, 31 nt, 32 nt, 33 nt, 34 nt, 35 nt, 36 nt, 37 nt, 38 nt, 39 nt, 40 nt, 41 nt, 42 nt, 43 nt, 44 nt, 45 nt, 46 nt, 47 nt, 48 nt, 49 nt, 50 nt, or any range that is formed from any two of those values as endpoints. The ngRNA and the like refer to an RNA sequence that can nick a strand such as an edited strand and a non-edited strand. The ngRNA can induce nicks at about one or more nt away from the site of the gRNA-induced nick. For example, the ngRNA can nick at least at about 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 63, 65, 67, 69, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, 83, 85, 87, 89, 91, 93, 95, 97, 99, 101, 103, 105, 107, 109, 111, 113, 115, 117, or more nt away from the site of the gRNA induced nick. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO The gRNA can target a nuclease or a nickase such as Cas9, Cas 12a / b Cas9(H840A) or Cas9 (D10A) molecule to a target nucleic acid or sequence in a genome. The gRNA can bind to a DNA nickase bound to a reverse transcriptase domain. A “modified gRNA,” as used herein, refers to a gRNA molecule that has an improved half-life after being introduced into a cell as compared to a non-modified gRNA molecule after being introduced into a cell. The gRNA can facilitate the addition of the insertion site sequence for recognition by integrases, transposases, or recombinases. During genome editing, the primer binding site allows the 3′ end of the nicked DNA strand to hybridize to the pegRNA, while the RT template serves as a template for the synthesis of edited genetic information. The pegRNA can for example, without limitation, (i) identify the target nucleotide sequence to be edited, and (ii) encode new genetic information that replaces the targeted sequence. The pegRNA can for example, without limitation, (i) identify the target nucleotide sequence to be edited, and (ii) encode an integration site that replaces the targeted sequence. As used herein, the terms “reverse transcriptase,” “reverse transcriptase domain,” and the like refer to an enzyme or an enzymatically active domain that can reverse a RNA transcribe into a complementary DNA. The reverse transcriptase or reverse transcriptase domain is a RNA dependent DNA polymerase. Such reverse transcriptase domains encompass, but are not limited, to a M-MLV reverse transcriptase, or a modified reverse transcriptase such as, without limitation, Superscript® reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen; Carlsbad, Calif.), Superscript® VILO™ cDNA synthesis (Invitrogen; Carlsbad, Calif.), RTX, AMV-RT, and Quantiscript Reverse Transcriptase (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). The pegRNA-PE complex disclosed herein recognizes the target site in the genome and the Cas9 for example nicks a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) strand. The primer binding site (PBS) in the pegRNA hybridizes to the PAM strand. The RT template operably linked to the PBS, containing the edit sequence, directs the reverse transcription of the RT template to DNA into the target site. Equilibration between the edited 3′ flap and the unedited 5′ flap, cellular 5′ flap cleavage and ligation, and DNA repair results in stably edited DNA. To optimize base editing, a Cas9 nickase can be used to nick the non-edited strand, thereby directing DNA repair to that strand, using the edited strand as a template.

Exemplary nucleic acid sequences of crRNAs described herein are provided in Table 2.

In some embodiments, the crRNA targets ANGPTL3 with any of the sequences provided in FIG.1B. In some embodiments, the crRNA targets Lp(a) with any of the sequences provided in FIG.1C. In some embodiments, the engineered Cas12a system can have more than one crRNA, and each of the more than one crRNAs has a repeat sequence and a spacer. For instance, the engineered Cas12a system provided herein can have 2, 3, 4, 5, or more crRNAs. In some embodiments, the more than one crRNAs are arranged in tandem, i.e., located immediately adjacent to one another, and configured as a crRNA array. In some embodiments, the crRNA array can have 2-50 crRNAs. In other embodiments, the crRNA array can have 50-100 crRNAs. In some embodiments, the crRNA array can have 100-150 crRNAs. In other embodiments, the crRNA array can have 150-200 crRNAs. However, crRNA arrays containing more than 200 crRNAs are also contemplated by the present disclosure. Each of the one or more crRNAs described herein comprises a repeat sequence and a spacer. The repeat sequence can be a Cas12a repeat sequence. In some embodiments, the repeat sequence is about 8-30 nucleotides long. In some embodiments, the repeat sequence is about 10-25 nucleotides long. In some embodiments, the repeat sequence is about 12-22 nucleotides long. In some embodiments, the repeat sequence is about 14-20 nucleotides long. In some embodiments, the repeat sequence is about 14-18 nucleotides long. The spacer in a crRNA is configured to hybridize to a target nucleic acid. For instance, the spacer in a crRNA can have sequences that are complementary to its target nucleic acid sequence. The complementarity can be partial complementarity or complete (e.g., perfect) complementarity. The terms "complementary" and "complementarity" are used as they are in the art and refer to the natural binding of nucleic acid sequences by base pairing. The complementarity of two polynucleotide strands is achieved by distinct interactions between nucleobases: adenine (A), thymine (T) (uracil (U) in RNA), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). Adenine and guanine are purines, while thymine, cytosine, and uracil are pyrimidines. Both ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO types of molecules complement each other and can only base pair with the opposing type of nucleobase by hydrogen bonding. For example, an adenine can only be efficiently paired with thymine (A=T) or uracil (A=U), and guanine can only be efficiently paired with cytosine (G=C). The base complement A=T or A=U shares two hydrogen bonds, while the base pair G=C shares three hydrogen bonds. The two complementary strands are oriented in opposite directions, and they are said to be antiparallel. For another example, the sequence 5'-A-G-T-3' binds to the complementary sequence 3'-T-C-A-5'. The degree of complementarity between two strands may vary from complete (or perfect) complementarity to no complementarity. The degree of complementarity between polynucleotide strands has significant effects on the efficiency and strength of the hybridization between the nucleic acid strands. In some embodiments, the polynucleotide probes provided herein comprise two perfectly complementary strands of polynucleotides. As used herein, the term "perfectly complementary" means that two strands of a double- stranded nucleic acid are complementary to one another at 100% of the bases, with no overhangs on either end of either strand. For example, two polynucleotides are perfectly complementary to one another when both strands are the same length, e.g., 100 bp in length, and each base in one strand is complementary to a corresponding base in the "opposite" strand, such that there are no overhangs on either the 5' or 3' end. In some embodiments, the engineered Cas12a system comprises one or more crRNAs, and each spacer in at least a portion of the one or more crRNAs is configured to hybridize to the same target nucleic acid. In other embodiments, the engineered Cas12a system comprises one or more crRNAs, and each spacer in at least a portion of the one or more crRNAs is configured to hybridize to a different target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, the engineered Cas12a system comprises one or more crRNAs, and each spacer in all of the one or more crRNAs is configured to hybridize to a different target nucleic acid. The engineered Cas12a system provided herein is capable of binding to one or more target nucleic acids. As used herein, a "target nucleic acid sequence" of an engineered Cas12a system refers to a sequence to which a spacer sequence is designed to have complementarity, where hybridization between a target nucleic acid sequence and a spacer sequence promotes the formation of a CRISPR complex. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO In some embodiments, the target nucleic acid refers to a nucleic acid of interest. For instance, the target nucleic acid can be a nucleic acid being investigated. In some embodiments, the target nucleic acid can be an endogenous gene. The target nucleic acids encompassed by the present disclosure can be RNAs and DNAs. In specific embodiments, the target nucleic acids can be DNAs, in particular, double-stranded DNAs (dsDNAs). Alternatively, the target nucleic acids can be derived from the genomic DNA, mitochondria DNA, chloroplast DNA, or viral DNA in host cells. In some embodiments, the target nucleic acid refers to a genomic site or DNA locus capable of being recognized by and bound to a crRNA provided herein. An enzymatically active crRNA- Cas complex would process such a target site to result in a break at the CRISPR target site. In the case of a deactivated Cas, a crRNA-dCas still recognizes and binds a CRISPR target site without cutting the target nucleic acid (e.g., the target DNA). In some embodiments, the target nucleic acid can be a transcription factor. In some embodiments, the target nucleic acid can be a metabolic enzyme. In other embodiments, the target nucleic acid can be any functional protein. For example, in some embodiments, the target nucleic acid is involved in a pathological pathway, such as, but not limited to, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Non-limiting examples of ASCVD include myocardial infarction, stroke, carotid artery disease, and aortic stenosis. In other embodiments, the target nucleic acid is involved in a biological pathway, such as, but not limited to, aging, cell death, angiogenesis, DNA repair, and stem cell differentiation. In some embodiments, the engineered Cas12a system provided herein can target any number of nucleic acids. In some embodiments, the engineered Cas12a system provided herein can target at least 2-4 different target nucleic acids. In some embodiments, the engineered Cas12a system provided herein can target at least 3 different target nucleic acids. In some embodiments, the engineered Cas12a system provided herein can target at least 5, at least 10, at least 15, at least 20, at least 25, at least 30 different target nucleic acids. In some embodiments, the engineered Cas12a system provided herein can target at least 50 different target nucleic acids. In other embodiments, the engineered Cas12a system provided herein can target at least 100 different target nucleic acids. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO Circular RNA arrays: As used herein, guide RNA (gRNA) also refers to circular guide RNA (cgRNA) unless otherwise noted. A gRNA comprises a polynucleotide sequence complementary to a target sequence (i.e. a targeting sequence).

Various crRNA and tracrRNA sequences are known in the art, for example those associated with several type II CRISPR-Cas9 systems (e.g., WO2013 / 176772), Cpfl, SaCas, and Cas12, among others. A gRNA can be designed to target any target sequence. Optimal alignment is determined using any algorithm for aligning sequences, including the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm, Smith-Waterman algorithm, Burrows-Wheeler algorithm, ClustlW, ClustlX, BLAST, Novoalign, SOAP, Maq, and ELAND. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO In some embodiments, a gRNA is designed to target to a unique target sequence within the genome of a cell. In some embodiments, a gRNA is designed to lack a PAM sequence. In some embodiments, a gRNA sequence is designed to have optimal secondary structure using a folding algorithm including mFold or Geneious. In some embodiments, expression of gRNAs may be under an inducible promoter, e.g. hormone inducible, tetracycline or doxycycline inducible, arabinose inducible, or light inducible. In some embodiments, the gRNA sequence is a "dead crRNAs," "dead guides," or "dead guide sequences" that can form a complex with a CRISPR-associated protein and bind specific targets without any substantial nuclease activity. In some embodiments, the gRNA is chemically modified in the sugar phosphate backbone or base. In some embodiments, the gRNA has one or more of the following modifications 2'O- methyl, 2'F or locked nucleic acids to improve nuclease resistance or base pairing. In some embodiments, the gRNA may contain modified bases such as 2-thiouridiene or N6- methyladenosine. In some embodiments, the gRNA is conjugated with other oligonucleotides, peptides, proteins, tags, dyes, or polyethylene glycol. In some embodiments, the gRNA includes an aptamer or riboswitch sequence that binds specific target molecules due to their three-dimensional structure. In some embodiments, gRNA has two, three, four or five hairpins. In some embodiments, gRNA includes a transcription termination sequence, which includes a polyT sequences comprising six nucleotides. Various methods for the production of guide RNA can be used, including for example, synthetic methods (e.g., solid phase synthesis “SPS”) and / or enzymatically-derived guide RNA (e.g., using T7 RNA polymerase). Either synthetically-derived or enzymatically- derived guide RNA can be used in the methods to produce cgRNA. Two general approaches relating to the production of cgRNA include: 1) using short DNA splints to pre-organize ends of linear gRNA for ligation by a nick-joining ligase (e.g., T4 RNA ligase 2); and 2) using single-stranded RNA ligase (e.g., T4RNA ligase 1) to join untemplated ends of RNA. In some embodiments, cgRNA is synthesized starting from a linear guide RNA. In some embodiments, linear gRNA is produced by in vitro transcription using T7 RNA polymerase, Syn5 polymerase, VSW3 RNA polymerase, or another RNA polymerase. In some embodiments, linear gRNA is produced by in-cell transcription by RNA Polymerase III (U6) or a modified RNA polymerase III such as U6+27 RNA polymerase III. In some ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO embodiments, linear gRNA is produced by in cell transcription by RNA Polymerase I or RNA Polymerase II. A segmented synthetic approach is advantageous in producing linear gRNA because short sections of RNA can be produced with greater purity post-purification compared to full length gRNA. In this approach the 5' acceptor RNA is the smallest RNA fragment (about 30- 50 nts) and can thus be purified to a high level before ligation. The 3'donor RNA is terminated with a phosphate that is required for synthesis and thus only the full-length fragment will be incorporated into the full length product (i.e., truncations are not substrates). The advantages are increased when considering gRNAs that are greater than 100 nts, such as pegRNA or Cas12b guides. The types of enzymatic ligations described herein are very high yielding (>80%) and the oligonucleotide starting material can be separated from ligated product with high selectivity, ensuring that full-length product is very pure. These types of enzymatic ligations are relatively inexpensive and scale well. Other means of linear RNA synthesis, include fully synthetic, and RNA-dependent RNA transcription. Using an enzymatic approach to cyclization, a cgRNA is produced using enzymatic methods. In some embodiments, the method comprises contacting a linear guide RNA comprising a phosphate at the 5'- terminus with a ligating enzyme to bring together a first end and a second end of the guide RNA thus creating a cgRNA. The ligation approach described herein makes use of ligases, a class of enzymes that combine sections of nucleic acids with each other. An advantage of using such ligases is that the resulting linkages between the fragments of RNA are indistinguishable from naturally occurring RNA or DNA. The ligases function on RNA or DNA and perform reactions with high efficiency. Various ligases can be used with the methods described herein. For example, one or more of T4 RNA ligase 1, T4 RNA Ligase 2, RtcB Ligase, Thermo-stable 5'App DNA / RNA Ligase, ElectroLigase, T4 DNA Ligase, T3 DNA Ligase, T7 DNA Ligase, Taq DNA Ligase, SplintR Ligase E. coli DNA Ligase, 9°N DNA Ligase, CircLigase, CircLigase II, DNA Ligase I, DNA Ligase III, and DNA Ligase IV can be used. In some embodiments, T4 RNA ligase 1 is used to ligate the first end and the second end of the guide RNA. In some embodiments, T4 RNA ligase 2 is used for ligating the first end and the second end of the guide RNA. In some embodiments, two or more RNA fragments are ligated using a self- templating approach, followed by cyclization to create a cgRNA. For example, in some embodiments, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more RNA fragments are ligated, followed by cyclization to create a cgRNA. In some embodiments, producing a synthetic cgRNA comprises providing two or more RNA fragments; providing an oligonucleotide that has partial complementarity to the two or more RNA fragments, wherein the complementarity of the ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO oligonucleotide allows for base pairing with the two or more RNA fragments; and providing a ligase to catalyze ligation between the two or more RNA fragments, thus producing a synthetic circular guide RNA (cgRNA). Various kinds of ligation are possible using this approach, such as ligation within a terminal loop of a hairpin formed between the first RNA and the second RNA. Various ligases are suitable for ligation at the terminal loop of a hairpin formed, such as T4 RNA ligase 1. Another kind of ligation that is possible with this approach is ligation within the duplex formed between the first RNA and the second RNA. Various ligases are suitable for ligating at the duplex formed between the two RNAs, such as T4 RNA ligase 2 and DNA ligases. In some embodiments, the cgRNA comprises a crRNA. In some embodiments, the cgRNA comprises a tracrRNA. In some embodiments, the cgRNA comprises a crRNA and a cgRNA. In some embodiments, a linear guide RNA is first synthesized. In this approach, two or more separate RNAs are ligated together. In some embodiments, a first RNA comprises a trans- activating RNA (tracrRNA), and a second RNA comprises a clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) RNA (crRNA). In some embodiments, the RNA comprising the tracrRNA sequences are synthesized such that a portion of the tracrRNA contains a phosphate at the 5' terminus. Two forms of ligation are possible with this approach, both of which are found within the stem loop region. The first form of ligation occurs within the terminal loop of the hairpin, which is a natural site of T4 RNA Ligase 1. The second form of ligation occurs within the duplex which is a natural of T4 RNA Ligase 2 and DNA ligases. One of the advantages of this form of ligation is that fragment impurities are readily removable because of the marked differences in elution time between the fused gRNA and the fragment impurities. Circular RNAs are a class of natural or synthetic RNA without 5’ or 3’ ends. Their unique covalently closed structure prevents RNA degradation by exonucleases, giving them comparative biostability in contrast to linear RNA sequences, which tend to be more rapidly degraded. This has potentially utility in conjunction with genome editing therapeutics, including, but not limited to, hyperCas12a or other Cas proteins. In some embodiments, the circular RNA comprises an intron scar from a self-splicing intron. In some embodiments, the intron scar originates from the T4 phage thymidylate synthase, ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO Anabaena pre-tRNA, or other self-splicing intron. In some embodiments, the intron scar may have a length of approximately 46 to 66 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the circular RNA does not comprise an intron scar and, rather, is circularized by enzymatic ligation. In some embodiments, the circular RNA comprises one or more linker sequences with low RNA complexity (i.e. minimal RNA secondary structure). In some embodiments, the linker sequences are polyA tracts, polyAC tracts, Sp1 linkers, or a combination of the above. In some embodiments, each linker sequence may have a length of approximately 10 to 70 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the circular RNA comprises one or more CRISPR RNA (crRNA) repeat sequences. In some embodiments, the repeat sequences originate from Lachnospiraceae bacterium Cas12a (LbCas12a) or Acidaminococcus species BV3L6 Cas12a (AsCas12a). In some embodiments, each crRNA repeat sequence may have a length of approximately 20 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the circular RNA comprises one or more crRNA guide sequences which recognize 21-24 bases opposite of a TTTG, TTTC, or TTTA motif in the human genome. In some embodiments, each crRNA guide sequence may have a length of approximately 20 to 25 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the circular RNA comprises, from 5’ to 3' orientation: a) a self-splicing intron scar, b) one or more linker sequences, c) a crRNA repeat sequence, d) one or more crRNA guide sequences separated by crRNA repeat sequences, e) a crRNA repeat sequence, and f) one of more linker sequences. In some embodiments, the circular RNA comprises the previous statement without an intron scar. In some embodiments, the circular RNA further comprises an expression cassette. In some embodiments, this expression cassette comprises an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) followed by a coding sequence of interest. In some embodiments, the coding sequence may encode a therapeutic protein such as a cytokine or a functional fragment thereof. In some embodiments, the coding sequence may encode a transcription factor, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, a chimeric antigen receptor, or a Cas protein. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO In some embodiments, the expression cassette and crRNA array sequences are on the same circular RNA polynucleotide and separated by a spacer sequence. In some embodiments, this crRNA array comprises, from 5’ to 3’ orientation: a) one or more linker sequences, b) a crRNA repeat sequence, c) one or more crRNA guide sequences separated by crRNA repeat sequences, d) a crRNA repeat sequence, and e) one of more linker sequences. In some embodiments, the spacer sequence is a 3’ untranslated region from a human gene. In some embodiments, the spacer sequence may have a length of approximately 20 to 500 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the expression cassette and crRNA array sequences are on separate circular RNA polynucleotides. In some embodiments, the circular RNA is produced through circularization of an RNA polynucleotide that comprises, from 5’ to 3’ orientation: a) a 3' fragment from a self-splicing intron, b) a crRNA array, an expression cassette, or both, and c) a 5' fragment from a self- splicing intron. In some embodiments, the circular RNA is produced through enzymatic ligation of an RNA polynucleotide that comprises only a crRNA array, an expression cassette, or both. In some embodiments, the circular RNA is purified from non-circular RNA by enzymatic digestion, gel purification, high-performance liquid chromatography, or a combination of the above. An exemplary circular crRNA array and its application are illustrated in FIG.2A and described in Example 1. A circular crRNA array may comprise, from 5’ to 3’ orientation: a) an intron scar, b) polyAC tract, c) LbCas12 crRNA repeat, d) crRNA target guide sequence, e) another LbCas12 crRNA repeat, f) another crRNA target guide sequence, g) another LbCas12 crRNA repeat, and h) another polyAC tract.

Transcriptional elements are non-coding regions of a gene but are typically required for gene transcription. Gene transcriptional elements comprise promoters, enhancers, silencers, insulators, transcription factor binding sites, TATA box, CpG islands, splice sites, polyadenylation signals, and terminator sequences. Transcriptional elements can be edited via any of the Cas enzymes described herein, including nuclease active Cas enzymes. In some embodiments, transcriptional elements can be edited via hyperCas12 (SEQ ID 1). In other embodiments, nuclease inactive Cas enzymes can be used to regulate expression of transcriptional elements. Nuclease inactive Cas enzymes can be paired with repressors and activators to effect gene expression changes. In some embodiments, transcriptional elements can be edited via nuclease inactive hyperCas12 (SEQ ID 2). While epigenetic modification can aid in reducing or increasing expression of a gene or multiple genes, the effect tends to be transient. To combat this, Cas repressors and activators need to be permanently expressed in a cell, and this can in some cases lead to negative side effects. Base editing of transcriptional elements is a potential strategy that avoids the risk of nuclease- active double stranded breaks, while simultaneously offering long-lasting genetic modifications via instituting permanent changes to the nucleotide sequence. Base editors yield predictable outcomes and reproducible changes in a gene. In some embodiments, any of the Cas enzymes fused to a deaminase described herein may be utilized to base edit transcriptional regulatory elements. In some embodiments, the engineered Cas12a protein provided herein comprises a sequence that is at least about 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or higher identity to a sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO 4, and is used to base edit gene transcriptional elements comprising promoters, enhancers, silencers, insulators, transcription factor binding sites, TATA box, CpG islands, splice sites, polyadenylation signals, and terminator sequences. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO In some embodiments, the engineered Cas12a protein provided herein comprises a sequence that is at least about 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or higher identity to a sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 5, and is used to base edit gene transcriptional elements comprising promoters, enhancers, silencers, insulators, transcription factor binding sites, TATA box, CpG islands, splice sites, polyadenylation signals, and terminator sequences.

For intravenous administration, suitable excipients include physiological saline, bacteriostatic water, Cremophor ELTM (BASF, Parsippany, N.J.), or phosphate buffered saline (PBS). In all cases, the composition should be sterile and should be fluid to the extent that it can be administered by syringe. It should be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The excipient can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants, e.g., sodium dodecyl sulfate. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like.

The ionizable lipid is typically employed to condense the nucleic acid cargo, e.g., nucleic acids at low pH and to drive membrane association and fusogenicity. Generally, ionizable lipids are lipids comprising at least one amino group that is positively charged or becomes protonated under acidic conditions, for example at pH of 6.5 or lower. Ionizable lipids are also referred to as cationic lipids herein. Exemplary ionizable lipids are described in International PCT patent publications WO2015 / 095340, WO2015 / 199952, WO2018 / 011633, WO2017 / 049245, WO2015 / 061467, WO2012 / 040184, WO2012 / 000104, WO2015 / 074085, WO2016 / 081029, WO2017 / 004143, WO2017 / 075531, WO2017 / 117528, WO2011 / 022460, WO2013 / 148541, WO2013 / 116126, WO2011 / 153120, WO2012 / 044638, WO2012 / 054365, WO2011 / 090965, WO2013 / 016058, WO2012 / 162210, WO2008 / 042973, WO2010 / 129709, WO2010 / 144740, WO2012 / 099755, WO2013 / 049328, WO2013 / 086322, WO2013 / 086373, WO2011 / 071860, WO2009 / 132131, WO2010 / 048536, WO2010 / 088537, WO2010 / 054401, WO2010 / 054406, WO2010 / 054405, WO2010 / 054384, WO2012 / 016184, WO2009 / 086558, WO2010 / 042877, WO2011 / 000106, WO2011 / 000107, WO2005 / 120152, WO2011 / 141705, WO2013 / 126803, WO2006 / 007712, WO2011 / 038160, WO2005 / 121348, WO2011 / 066651, WO2009 / 127060, WO2011 / 141704, WO2006 / 069782, WO2012 / 031043, WO2013 / 006825, WO2013 / 033563, WO2013 / 089151, WO2017 / 099823, WO2015 / 095346, and WO2013 / 086354, and US patent publications US2016 / 0311759, US2015 / 0376115, US2016 / 0151284, US2017 / 0210697, US2015 / 0140070, US2013 / 0178541, US2013 / 0303587, US2015 / 0141678, US2015 / 0239926, US2016 / 0376224, US2017 / 0119904, US2012 / 0149894, US2015 / 0057373, US2013 / 0090372, US2013 / 0274523, US2013 / 0274504, US2013 / 0274504, US2009 / 0023673, US2012 / 0128760, US2010 / 0324120, US2014 / 0200257, US2015 / 0203446, US2018 / 0005363, US2014 / 0308304, US2013 / 0338210, US2012 / 0101148, US2012 / 0027796, ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO US2012 / 0058144, US2013 / 0323269, US2011 / 0117125, US2011 / 0256175, US2012 / 0202871, US2011 / 0076335, US2006 / 0083780, US2013 / 0123338, US2015 / 0064242, US2006 / 0051405, US2013 / 0065939, US2006 / 0008910, US2003 / 0022649, US2010 / 0130588, U52013 / 0116307, US2010 / 0062967, US2013 / 0202684, US2014 / 0141070, US2014 / 0255472, US2014 / 0039032, US2018 / 0028664, U52016 / 0317458, and US2013 / 0195920. Various LNP formulations known in the art can be used to deliver nucleic acids as described herein. For example, various LNP formulations and delivery methods using lipid nanoparticles are described in U.S. Pat. Nos.9,404,127, 9,006,4179,518,272, and US Patent Application No. 63 / 415,229. Such particles can be prepared by high energy mixing of ethanolic lipids with aqueous nucleic acids at low pH which protonates the ionizable lipid and provides favorable energetics for nucleic acids / lipid association and nucleation of particles. The particles can be further stabilized through aqueous dilution and removal of the organic solvent. The particles can be concentrated to the desired level. Another example of a nanoparticle that finds use in the delivery of the subject nucleic acids is a metal nanoparticle. In some embodiments, nucleic acids as described herein are delivered by a gold nanoparticle. Generally, a nucleic acid can be covalently bound to a gold nanoparticle or non-covalently bound to a gold nanoparticle (e.g., bound by a charge-charge interaction), for example as described by Ding et al. (2014). Gold Nanoparticles for Nucleic Acid Delivery. Mol. Ther.22(6); 1075-1083. In some embodiments, gold nanoparticle-nucleic acid conjugates are produced using methods described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No.6,812,334. In some embodiments, nucleic acids described herein can be readily formulated in high concentrations of chitosan-nucleic acid polyplex compositions and administered orally in DNA enteric coated pills described in U.S. Pat. Nos.8,846,102; 9,404,088; and 9,850,323, each of which is incorporated herein by its entirety. Exosomes. In some embodiments, nucleic acids as described herein are delivered by being packaged in an exosome. Exosomes are small membrane vesicles of endocytic origin that are released into the extracellular environment following fusion of multivesicular bodies with the plasma membrane. Their surface consists of a lipid bilayer from the donor cell's cell membrane, they contain cytosol from the cell that produced the exosome, and exhibit membrane proteins from the parental cell on the surface. Exosomes are produced by various cell types including ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO epithelial cells, B and T lymphocytes, mast cells (MC) as well as dendritic cells (DC). Some embodiments, exosomes with a diameter between 10 nm and 1 µm, between 20 nm and 500 nm, between 30 nm and 250 nm, between 50 nm and 100 nm are envisioned for use. Exosomes can be isolated for a delivery to target cells using either their donor cells or by introducing specific nucleic acids into them. Various approaches known in the art can be used to produce exosomes containing capsid-free AAV vectors of the present invention. Conjugates. In some embodiments, nucleic acids as described herein as disclosed herein are conjugated (e.g., covalently bound to an agent that increases cellular uptake. An "agent that increases cellular uptake" is a molecule that facilitates transport of a nucleic acid across a lipid membrane. For example, a nucleic acid can be conjugated to a lipophilic compound (e.g., cholesterol, tocopherol, etc.), a cell penetrating peptide (CPP) (e.g., penetratin, TAT, Syn1B, etc.), and polyamines (e.g., spermine). Further examples of agents that increase cellular uptake are disclosed, for example, in Winkler (2013). Oligonucleotide conjugates for therapeutic applications. Ther. Deliv.4(7); 791-809. In some embodiments, nucleic acids as described herein as disclosed herein are conjugated to a polymer (e.g., a polymeric molecule) or a folate molecule (e.g., folic acid molecule). Generally, delivery of nucleic acids conjugated to polymers is known in the art, for example as described in WO2000 / 34343 and WO2008 / 022309. In some embodiments, nucleic acids as disclosed herein are conjugated to a poly(amide) polymer, for example as described by U.S. Pat. No.8,987,377. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid described by the disclosure is conjugated to a folic acid molecule as described in U.S. Pat. No.8,507,455. In some embodiments, nucleic acids as described herein as disclosed herein are conjugated to a carbohydrate, for example as described in U.S. Pat. No.8,450,467. Nanocapsules. Alternatively, nanocapsule formulations of nucleic acids can be used. Nanocapsules can generally entrap substances in a stable and reproducible way. To avoid side effects due to intracellular polymeric overloading, such ultrafine particles (sized around 0.1 µm) should be designed using polymers able to be degraded in vivo. Biodegradable polyalkyl- cyanoacrylate nanoparticles that meet these requirements are contemplated for use. Liposomes. Nucleic acids as described herein can be added to liposomes for delivery to a cell or target organ in a subject. Liposomes are vesicles that possess at least one lipid bilayer and ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO an aqueous core. Liposomes are typical used as carriers for drug / therapeutic delivery in the context of pharmaceutical development. They work by fusing with a cellular membrane and repositioning its lipid structure to deliver a drug or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Liposome compositions for such delivery are composed of phospholipids, especially compounds having a phosphatidylcholine group, however these compositions may also include other lipids. The formation and use of liposomes is generally known to those of skill in the art. Liposomes have been developed with improved serum stability and circulation half-times (U.S. Pat. No. 5,741,516). Further, various methods of liposome and liposome like preparations as potential drug carriers have been described (U.S. Pat. Nos.5,567,434; 5,552,157; 5,565,213; 5,738,868 and 5,795,587). As stated previously, the site-directed polypeptide and genome-targeting nucleic acid can each be administered separately to a cell or a patient. On the other hand, the site-directed polypeptide can be pre-complexed with one or more guide RNAs, or one or more crRNA together. The pre-complexed material can then be administered to a cell or a patient. Such pre- complexed material is known as a ribonucleoprotein particle (RNP). RNA is capable of forming specific interactions with RNA or DNA. While this property is exploited in many biological processes, it also comes with the risk of promiscuous interactions in a nucleic acid-rich cellular environment. One solution to this problem is the formation of ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs), in which the RNA is pre-complexed with an endonuclease. Another benefit of the RNP is protection of the RNA from degradation. The endonuclease in the RNP can be modified or unmodified. Likewise, the gRNA, crRNA, tracrRNA, or sgRNA can be modified or unmodified. Numerous modifications are known in the art and can be used. In some embodiments, HyperCas12 mRNA and crRNA targeting one, two, three, or more loci in the PCSK9 gene can each be separately formulated into lipid nanoparticles, or all co-formulated into one lipid nanoparticle. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO In some embodiments, HyperCas12 mRNA and crRNA targeting one, two, three, or more loci in the ANGPTL3 gene can each be separately formulated into lipid nanoparticles, or all co- formulated into one lipid nanoparticle. In some embodiments, HyperCas12 mRNA and crRNA targeting one, two, three, or more loci in the Lp(a) gene can each be separately formulated into lipid nanoparticles, or all co-formulated into one lipid nanoparticle. In some embodiments, HyperCas12 mRNA and crRNA targeting one, two, three, or more loci in the APOB gene can each be separately formulated into lipid nanoparticles, or all co-formulated into one lipid nanoparticle. In some embodiments, HyperCas12 mRNA and crRNA targeting one, two, three, or more loci in the APOC3 gene can each be separately formulated into lipid nanoparticles, or all co-formulated into one lipid nanoparticle.

In some embodiments, HyperCas12 mRNA and crRNA targeting one, two, three, or more loci in the PCSK9, ANGPTL3, and Lp(a) genes can each be separately formulated into lipid nanoparticles, or all co-formulated into one lipid nanoparticle. In some embodiments, HyperCas12 mRNA and crRNA targeting one, two, three, or more loci in the PCSK9, ANGPTL3, Lp(a), and APOC3 genes can each be separately formulated into lipid nanoparticles, or all co-formulated into one lipid nanoparticle. In some embodiments, HyperCas12 mRNA and crRNA targeting one, two, three, or more loci in the PCSK9, ANGPTL3, Lp(a), APOB, and APOC3 genes can each be separately formulated into lipid nanoparticles, or all co-formulated into one lipid nanoparticle. ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO The endonuclease and sgRNA can be generally combined in a 1:1 molar ratio. Alternatively, the endonuclease, crRNA, and tracrRNA can be generally combined in a 1:1:1 molar ratio. However, a wide range of molar ratios can be used to produce an RNP. Viral, including AAV delivery: A recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector can be used for delivery. Techniques to produce rAAV particles, in which an AAV genome to be packaged that includes the polynucleotide to be delivered, rep and cap genes, and helper virus functions are provided to a cell are standard in the art. Production of rAAV typically requires that the following components are present within a single cell (denoted herein as a packaging cell): a rAAV genome, AAV rep and cap genes separate from (i.e., not in) the rAAV genome, and helper virus functions. The AAV rep and cap genes may be from any AAV serotype for which recombinant virus can be derived, and may be from a different AAV serotype than the rAAV genome ITRs, including, but not limited to, AAV serotypes described herein.

The RNA can be chemically modified to alter or improve its half-life or decrease the likelihood or degree of immune response. The endonuclease protein can be complexed with the crRNA or gRNA prior to delivery. Viral vectors allow efficient delivery; split versions of Cas12 and smaller orthologs of Cas12 can be packaged in AAV. A range of non- ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO viral delivery methods also exist that can deliver each of these components, or non-viral and viral methods can be employed in tandem. For example, nanoparticles can be used to deliver the protein and guide RNA, while AAV can be used to deliver a donor DNA.

In some embodiments, provided herewith is a method of transfecting a nucleic acid into a cell. The method can involve contacting a cell with a cell-penetrating complex. In some embodiments, the method can cause gene-edition in the cell. In some embodiments, the gene- edition can encompass genome-edition or genome editing which is a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted or replaced in the genome of a living organism using an isolated or engineered nuclease system. In certain embodiments, the method disclosed herein can be used to deliver a genetic tool or system that can cause gene-edition in the transfected cells. Some non-limiting examples of a genetic tool or system for gene-edition include a CRISPR-Cas system and transposon systems. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid (i.e. the cargo nucleic acid) transfected by the transfection method according to some embodiments can have one or more vectors having a first nucleotide sequence encoding a CRISPR-Cas system guide RNA that hybridizes with a target sequence in the genome of the cell and a second nucleotide sequence encoding a Cas9 protein or any other Cas protein, including, but not limited to Cas12a or hyperCas12a.

In some embodiments, the CRISPR system comprises hyperCas12 or hyperdCas12. In some embodiments, a CRISPR / Cas system is preferentially delivered as mRNA. In some embodiments, the Cas enzyme is delivered as mRNA via a CART vector, and the sgRNA is delivered in trans fashion in a separate CART vector. In some embodiments, the Cas mRNA and sgRNA are delivered in cis fashion, i.e., delivered together in a single CART vector. In some embodiments, the CRISPR / Cas system is delivered in a single CART vector as a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. In some embodiments, a cargo nucleic acid transfected by the transfection method according to certain embodiments can have a CRISPR RNA (crRNA). In some embodiments, this crRNA can be in the same vector of the first nucleotide sequence encoding a CRISPR-Cas system. In some embodiments, a cargo nucleic acid transfected by the transfection method according to certain embodiments can have a transactivating RNA (tracrRNA). In some embodiments, this tracrRNA can be in the same vector of the second nucleotide sequence encoding a Cas9, Cas12, hyperCas12a or Cas13 protein. In some embodiments, the Cas9, Cas12, hyperCas12a, or Cas13 protein utilized in the transfection method according to some embodiments can be codon optimized for expression in the transfected cell. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid (i.e. the cargo nucleic acid) transfected by the transfection method according to some embodiments can have one or more vectors having a first nucleotide sequence encoding a transposase and a second nucleotide sequence having a nucleic acid sequence of a gene of interest flanked by a transposase recognition site. In some embodiments, the first and second nucleotide sequences can be located on the same or different vectors. A transposable element (or transposon) generally refers to a DNA sequence that can change its position within a genome, sometimes creating or reversing mutations and altering the cell's genetic composition and genome size. Transposase generally refers to an enzyme that can bind to a transposon and catalyze the movement of the transposon to another part of the genome by, e.g. a cut and paste mechanism or a replicative transposition mechanism. Introduction of transposase and a gene of interest flanked by a transposase recognition site in cells can induce insertion of the gene of interest into a cellular genome. According to some embodiments, the ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO method and composition according to certain embodiments herewith can deliver or transfect a nucleic acid encoding a transposase and a gene of interest to induce gene-edition in the transfected cells. In some embodiments, the transposase used in the transfection method according to some embodiments can recognize and excise a genomic sequence.

In some embodiments, the gene-editing done via the transfection method according to some embodiments can cause one or more of the following: a DNA deletion, a gene disruption, a DNA insertion, a DNA inversion, a point mutation, a DNA replacement, a knock-in, and a knock- down. In some embodiments, a cationic amphipathic polymer or a cell-penetrating complex can be formulated into a composition that can be used to transfect nucleic acid into cells. In some embodiments, a cationic amphipathic polymer or a cell-penetrating complex can be formulated into a composition that can be used to transfect nucleic acid into specifically targeted cells. These compositions that are capable of transfecting nucleic acid into cells are referred to as transfection compositions at least in some embodiments.

The transfection composition that has a cationic amphipathic polymer but not a cargo nucleic acid can be formulated with the cargo nucleic acid, e.g. contacting (or mixing) the cationic amphipathic polymer and the nucleic acid before transfection. In some embodiments, the transfection of using the composition and method disclosed herein can change one or more cellular properties. In some examples, the transfection can result in changing a gene expression profile in the transfected cells, e.g. reducing or increasing the expression of one or more gene products (e.g. RNA or peptide). In some other examples, the transfection can result in changing a genome structure, e.g. gene-editing via transfecting components of CRISPR / Cas12 system or a transposon system. In some other examples, the ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO transfection can result in modulating the activity of a cellular pathway. Therefore, in some of such examples, the transfection can result in induction of stem cells. In some other examples, the composition can deliver or (transfect) a cargo nucleic acid that has a therapeutic effect such that the transfection can treat and / or prevent a disease or condition. In some embodiments, the composition delivering (or transfecting) therapeutic cargo nucleic acids can induce an immune response in a subject that was administered with the composition. As apparent from the foregoing, depending on the cargo nucleic acid and the functionality thereof, the compositions according to the present disclosures, including a composition having a cationic amphipathic polymer or a cell-penetrating complex can be used to provide a variety of results in the transfected cells or the administered subject. In some embodiments, compositions having a cationic amphipathic polymer or a cell- penetrating complex can be used for a therapeutic purpose. In some embodiments, a therapeutic purpose encompasses a prophylactic purpose (a purpose of preventing a disease or condition from occurring) and a treatment purpose (a purpose of treating an existing disease or condition). When the composition has a cationic amphipathic polymer but not a cargo nucleic acid, the cargo nucleic acid, which can exhibit a therapeutic effect, can be non-covalently bound to the cationic amphipathic polymer, before administration to a subject. In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions can have a cell-penetrating complex, which has a nucleic acid non-covalently bound to a cationic amphipathic polymer, as an active ingredient and further contain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or additives depending on the route of administration. Formulation of the pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure can vary according to the route of administration selected (e.g., solution, emulsion). In some embodiments, the composition can include a cryoprotectant agent. Non-limiting examples of cryoprotectant agents include a glycol (e.g., ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and glycerol), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), formamide, sucrose, trehalose, dextrose, and any combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the formulation is a controlled release formulation. The term “controlled release formulation” includes sustained release and time-release formulations. Controlled release formulations are well-known in the art. These include excipients that allow for sustained, ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO periodic, pulse, or delayed release of the composition. Controlled release formulations include, without limitation, embedding of the composition into a matrix; enteric coatings; micro- encapsulation; gels and hydrogels; implants; and any other formulation that allows for controlled release of a composition.

The kit can further contain a document or an instruction that describes a protocol for making a cell-penetrating complex using a cationic amphipathic polymer and a cargo nucleic acid. In some embodiments, the cargo nucleic acid may first be complexed with a polypeptide. The document or instruction of the kit can also describe a protocol for administering the composition to a subject in need thereof. The dosage and frequency (single or multiple doses) administered to a subject can vary depending upon a variety of factors, for example, whether the subject suffers from another disease, its route of administration; size, age, sex, health, body weight, body mass index, and diet of the recipient; nature and extent of symptoms of the disease being treated, kind of concurrent treatment, complications from the disease being treated or other health-related problems. Other therapeutic regimens or agents can be used in conjunction with the methods and compositions described herein including embodiments thereof. Adjustment and manipulation of established dosages (e.g., frequency and duration) are well within the ability of those skilled in the art. Utilizing the teachings provided herein, an effective prophylactic or therapeutic treatment regimen can be planned that does not cause substantial toxicity and yet is effective to treat the clinical symptoms demonstrated by the particular patient. This planning should involve the careful choice of active compound by considering factors such as compound potency, relative bioavailability, patient body weight, presence and severity of adverse side effects, preferred mode of administration and the toxicity profile of the selected agent. In some embodiments, the subject is a mammal, for example a human, a non-human primate, a murine (i.e., mouse and rat), a canine, a feline, or an equine. In one embodiment, the subject is a human. Augmented Targeted Nuclear Delivery of CRISPR Therapeutics ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO To exert their therapeutic effect, the CRISPR / Cas systems must be delivered to the nucleus. Nuclear delivery presents a unique challenge for nucleic acid therapeutics. To overcome this challenge, the CRISPR / Cas systems described herein can employ nuclear localization signals (NLS). NLS are generally short peptides that act as a signal fragment that mediates the transport of proteins from the cytoplasm into the nucleus. This NLS-dependent protein recognition, a process necessary for cargo proteins to pass the nuclear envelope through the nuclear pore complex, is facilitated by members of the importin superfamily. In the case of the therapeutic described herein, the CART vector delivers mRNA into the cytoplasm of target cells with high efficiency. Upon pH change experienced in the cytoplasm, the CART vector releases its target mRNA, which is subsequently translated to protein via ribosomes. For the translated protein, in this case, Cas enzymes, to have their therapeutic effect, they must be transported across the double layer nuclear envelope into the nucleus where they can begin the gene editing process. A nuclear localization signal (NLS) was first identified through the analysis of mutants of simian virus 40 (SV40), whose NLS is composed of seven amino acids, Pro-Lys-Lys- Lys-Arg-Lys-Val (PKKKRKV). In some preferred embodiments, the NLS is the SV40 NLS. In other preferred embodiments, the NLS is the c-Myc NLS. In some embodiments, more than 1 NLS may be incorporated. In some embodiments, 1 to 10 NLS may be incorporated. In some embodiments, 2 NLS may be incorporated. In some embodiments, 3 NLS may be incorporated. In some embodiments, 4 NLS may be incorporated. In some embodiments, a NLS can be present on either the N-terminus or C-terminus of the Cas protein. In some embodiments, 1 a NLS can be present on both the N-terminus and the C-terminus of the Cas protein. In some embodiments, 1 to 10 NLS can be present on both the N-terminus and the C-terminus of the Cas protein. In one embodiment, the 3xNLS-NLP-cMyc-cMyc framework can be applied to hyperCas12. In some embodiments, the nuclear internalization signal or a nuclear import machinery binding domain is a modified nuclear internalization signal or a nuclear import machinery binding domain in that the nuclear internalization signal or a nuclear import machinery binding domain includes one or more modified amino acids. These domains may be derived from human proteins or other organisms. A partial list of nuclear localization signals can be found in the NLSdb, a database that includes over 2000 nuclear localization signals, all of which are incorporated herein by reference (https: / / rostlab.org / services / nlsdb / ). An additional list of NLS can be found in Table 4. Additional NLS that can be used with any CRISPR / Cas system are found in Supplementary Table S1 and Supplementary Table S2 in the following article (Kevin ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO Luk, Pengpeng Liu, Jing Zeng et al. Optimization of NLS composition improves CRISPR- Cas12a editing rates in human primary cells. published on bioRxiv. Accessed April 29, 2022).

In some embodiments the CART:pDNA ratio is about 5:1. In some embodiments the CART is O11A9 (6a). In other embodiments, the CART is L7.5A8. Codon optimization can be achieved with any method known in the art. Codon optimization refers to a process of modifying a nucleic acid sequence for enhanced expression of a gene in target or host cells of interest, e.g., human retinal cells, by replacing at least one codon (e.g., about or more than 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100 or more codons) of a native sequence with codons that are used more frequently or are most frequently used in the host cell while maintaining the native amino acid sequence. Codon usage tables are readily available, including for examples, GenScript Codon Usage Frequency Table Tool at http: / / www.genscript.com / tools / codon-frequency-table; Codon Usage Database at http: / / www.kazusa.or.jp / codon / ; and Nakamura, Y., et al.

Pharmaceutical Excipients and Formulations: In addition to the active agent or agents, a given active agent composition includes a pharmaceutically acceptable delivery vehicle, e.g., a pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO vehicle. For pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous vehicles, in addition to water, the aqueous delivery vehicle may include a number of different components, including but not limited to: salts, buffers, preservatives, solubility enhancers, viscosity modulators, colorants, etc. Suitable aqueous vehicles include sterile distilled or purified water, isotonic solutions such as isotonic sodium chloride or boric acid solutions, phosphate buffered saline (PBS), propylene glycol and butylene glycol. Other suitable vehicular constituents include phenylmercuric nitrate, sodium sulfate, sodium sulfite, sodium phosphate and monosodium phosphate. Additional examples of other suitable vehicle ingredients include alcohols, fats and oils, polymers, surfactants, fatty acids, viscosity modifiers, emulsifiers and stabilizers, antimicrobial agents, pH adjusting agents. The viscosity of a given active agent composition may vary. In all cases, the composition must be sterile and should be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, polyalcohols such as manitol, sorbitol, sodium chloride in the composition. Prolonged absorption of the internal compositions can be brought about by including in the composition an agent which delays absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin. Sterile solutions can be prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in an appropriate solvent with one or a combination of ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the active compound into a sterile vehicle that contains a basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, methods of preparation are vacuum drying and freeze- drying that yields a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof.

ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method that includes administering a composition of the present disclosure including an LNP vector and at least one a nucleic acid therapeutic or protein therapeutic to a cell, tissue, or subject. In some embodiments, one or more amino acids of the engineered therapeutic is an acetylated amino acid. In some embodiments, the acetylated amino acid is a lysine amino acid. In some embodiments, the acetylated amino acid is present in a linker domain or targeting domain. In some embodiments, the composition is delivered to CNS neurons. The following examples are offered by way of illustration and not by way of limitation. EXPERIMENTAL The invention will be more fully understood by reference to the following examples, which provide illustrative non-limiting aspects of the disclosure. The examples describe the use of the CRISPR system as an illustrative genome editing technique to create defined therapeutic genomic deletions, insertions, or replacements, termed "genomic modifications" herein, in the PCSK9, ANGPTL3, Lp(a), APOC3, and APOB genes that lead to permanent deletion or mutation of these genes, reducing or eliminating the respective protein activities. Introduction of the defined therapeutic modifications represents a novel therapeutic strategy for the potential amelioration of Dyslipidemias, as described and illustrated herein. Example 1 CRISPR / Cas12 Target Sites for the PCSK9 Gene Regions of the PCSK9 gene are scanned for target sites. Each area is scanned for a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) having the sequence TTTG. gRNA 23 bp spacer sequences corresponding to the PAM are then identified, e.g., as shown in Table 2 and FIGS.1A-1B. CRISPR / Cas12 Target Sites for the ANGPTL3 Gene ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO Regions of the ANGPTL3 gene are scanned for target sites. Each area is scanned for a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) having the sequence TTTG. gRNA 23 bp spacer sequences corresponding to the PAM are then identified, e.g.,as shown in Table 2 and FIGS.1C-1E. CRISPR / Cas12 Target Sites for the Lp(a) Gene Regions of the Lp(a) gene are scanned for target sites. Each area is scanned for a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) having the sequence TTTG. gRNA 23 bp spacer sequences corresponding to the PAM are then identified, e.g., as shown in Table 2 and FIGS.1F-1H. Bioinformatics Analysis of the Guide Strands Candidate guides are then screened and selected in a single process or multi-step process that involves both theoretical binding and experimentally assessed activity at both on and off-target sites. By way of illustration, candidate guides having sequences that match a particular on- target site, such as a site within the PCSK9 gene, with adjacent PAM can be assessed for their potential to cleave at off-target sites having similar sequences, using one or more of a variety of bioinformatics tools available for assessing off-target binding, as described and illustrated in more detail below, in order to assess the likelihood of effects at chromosomal positions other than those intended. Prior to beginning in vitro testing, extensive in silico development work was performed in an effort to reduce the chance of deleterious off target edits. Candidates predicted to have relatively lower potential for off-target activity can then be assessed experimentally to measure their on-target activity, and then off-target activities at various sites. Preferred guides have sufficiently high on-target activity to achieve desired levels of gene editing at the selected locus, and relatively lower off-target activity to reduce the likelihood of alterations at other chromosomal loci. The ratio of on-target to off-target activity is often referred to as the “specificity” of a guide. For initial screening of predicted off-target activities, there are a number of bioinformatics tools known and publicly available that can be used to predict the most likely off-target sites; and since binding to target sites in the CRISPR / Cas12 nuclease system is driven by Watson-Crick base pairing between complementary sequences, the degree of dissimilarity (and therefore ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO reduced potential for off-target binding) is essentially related to primary sequence differences: mismatches and bulges, i.e. bases that are changed to a non-complementary base, and insertions or deletions of bases in the potential off-target site relative to the target site. An exemplary bioinformatics tool called COSMID (CRISPR Off-target Sites with Mismatches, Insertions and Deletions) (available on the web at crispr.bme.gatech.edu) compiles such similarities. Other bioinformatics tools include, but are not limited to, autoCOSMID, CCTop, CRISPICK and Cas-OFF FINDER. Bioinformatics are used to minimize off-target cleavage in order to reduce the detrimental effects of mutations and chromosomal rearrangements. Studies on CRISPR / Cas12 systems suggested the possibility of high off-target activity due to nonspecific hybridization of the guide strand to DNA sequences with base pair mismatches and / or bulges, particularly at positions distal from the PAM region. Therefore, it is important to have a bioinformatics tool that can identify potential off-target sites that have insertions and / or deletions between the RNA guide strand and genomic sequences, in addition to base-pair mismatches. Cas-OFF FINDER was used to identify target sequences with low predicted off target editing sites. Additional bioinformatics pipelines are employed that weigh the estimated on- and / or off-target activity of gRNA targeting sites in a region. Other features that may be used to predict activity include information about the cell type in question, DNA accessibility, chromatin state, transcription factor binding sites, transcription factor binding data, and other CHIP-seq data. Additional factors are weighed that predict editing efficiency, such as relative positions and directions of pairs of gRNAs, local sequence features and micro-homologies. Guides were selected for testing based on high predicted on target editing with minimal off target editing. Testing of Preferred Guides in Primary Human Hepatocytes Primary human hepatocytes (BioIVT) were added to collagen-coated tissue culture plates in a 24-well plate, with each well containing approximately 350,000 cells. Cells were incubated at 37C in 5% CO2 in INVITROGRO culture plating medium (Z99029). TORPEDO antibiotic mix (Z99000) was added. After 2-4 hours, the cells were washed with CP medium to remove cells that did not attach or died during the attachment phase and new CP medium (Z99029) was added to the wells. Cells were then transfected with an mRNA and gRNA (TABLE 5). ATTY DKT NO: RENA-002WO Transfection was performed using Lipofectamine MessengerMAX in OptiMEM. For each well, RNA was diluted in OptiMEM. Diluted mRNA was added to each tube of diluted MessengerMAX Reagent in a 1:1 ratio. Cells were harvested approximately 4 days after transfection. Genomic DNA was collected with the DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (QIAGEN), and PCR was performe...
