Nucleic acid molecules, compositions, recombinant AAV (rAAV) particles, kits, and methods are described herein for delivering a base editor (or nucleobase editor) to cells, e.g., via AAV vectors. In particular, the disclosure provides compositions, methods, and uses for delivery of adenine base editors and cytosine base editors in a single AAV vector (or genome). Further described herein are improved AAV vectors containing size-minimized regulatory components that enable, e.g., the packaging of base editors. Provided herein are methods and compositions for delivering base editor proteins to a cell or tissue in a single recombinant AAV (rAAV) vector. Contemplated herein are improved methods and compositions for delivering these base editors in vivo, in a single rAAV particle. Further provided herein are base editors and compositions and cells comprising these base editors.

Viral infection is a persistent cause of human disease. Fusion polypeptide systems target the genomes of viral infections, rendering the viruses incapacitated.

The present invention provides compositions and methods of use pertaining to rAAV-mediated delivery of therapeutically effective molecules for treatment of diseases such as Pompe disease. These compositions in combination with various routes and methods of administration result in targeted expression of therapeutic molecules in specific organs, tissues and cells.

Provided herein are synthetic RNA molecules for reconstitution of RNA molecules, including compositions and methods of using these molecules. For example, such molecules can be used to deliver a protein coding sequence over two or more viral vectors (such as AAVs), resulting in reconstitution of the full-length protein in a cell. Such methods can be used to deliver a therapeutic protein, for example to treat a genetic disease or cancer.

The invention provides easy-to-scale methods of creating DNA/transfection reagent master mixes for transfecting cells in culture.

A viral particle detection method for detecting a type of a viral particle that is a test subject, includes: generating a plurality of pieces of training image data in which the viral particle appears; receiving, for each of the generated plurality of pieces of training image data, input of a combination of a type of the viral particle appearing in the training image data and position information of the viral particle in the training image data; generating a plurality of pieces of training data by associating the combinations input for each of the plurality of pieces of training image data with the respective pieces of training image data; and generating a trained model by performing machine learning on the generated plurality of pieces of training data.

Disclosed herein are engineered AAV VP capsid polypeptides with the ability to assemble into virus particles and having improved tissue tropism to, for example, CNS tissues. The capsids are engineered using the high throughput discovery system described herein. In certain embodiments, provided herein are recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) VP capsid polypeptides having at least one mutation in a residue corresponding to residue 581 to residue 589 in SEQ ID NO: 1.

Provided herein are synthetic RNA molecules for reconstitution of RNA molecules, including compositions and methods of using these molecules. For example, such molecules can be used to deliver a protein coding sequence over two or more viral vectors (such as AAVs), resulting in reconstitution of the full-length protein in a cell. Such methods can be used to deliver a therapeutic protein, for example to treat a genetic disease or cancer.

The AAV compositions comprising an AAV and a buffer. These AAV compositions are appropriate for us in intracerebroventricular (ICV) and intraparenchymal (IPA) administration, as well as other routes of administration and can be provided in frozen, liquid or potentially freeze dried (lyophilized) state.

The present disclosure provides methods and compositions to develop AAV capsids with a desired characteristic compared to a natural AAV serotype. These capsids are useful, for example, for the delivery of genome engineering molecules and gene therapy molecules for the treatment of a subject in need thereof.
