Abstract
Prime editing enables the generation of nearly any small genetic variant. However, the process of prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) design is challenging and requires automated computational design tools. We developed Prime Editing Guide Generator (PEGG), a fast, flexible, and user-friendly Python package that enables the rapid generation of pegRNA and pegRNA-sensor libraries. Here, we describe the installation and use of PEGG (https://pegg.readthedocs.io) to rapidly generate custom pegRNA-sensor libraries for use in high-throughput prime editing screens.
期刊介绍:
The critically acclaimed laboratory standard for almost 50 years, Methods in Enzymology is one of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry. Each volume is eagerly awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike. Now with over 500 volumes the series contains much material still relevant today and is truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life sciences, including microbiology, biochemistry, cancer research and genetics-just to name a few. Five of the 2013 Nobel Laureates have edited or contributed to volumes of MIE.
