Large-scale genome structure interrogation via recombinase-mediated rearrangements of multiplexed prime edits in repetitive elements - Nature Protocols

A step-by-step protocol describes combining prime editing and recombinase insertions into repetitive elements to enable massively multiplexed, programmable genome rearrangements and fitness mapping.

Key Takeaways
  • Yet existing methods are limited by the low density of achievable modifications or the toxicity of methods
  • This scale of genome editing has not previously been attainable and supports a wide range of studies
  • Full protocol takes ~12–18 weeks to complete and requires intermediate to advanced expertise in genome editing
