ADENINE BASE EDITORS AND USES THEREOF
The present disclosure provides adenine base editors (ABEs) that are variants of known adenine base editors. The adenosine deaminase domain of a known ABE was modified to produce adenosine deaminase variants. The deaminase variants provided herein have broader compatibility with diverse napDNAbp domains, such as Cas homologs, for base editing applications. The ABEs provided herein comprise a deaminase variant and a napDNAbp domain. The ABEs provided herein exhibit reduced off-target editing effects while retaining high on-target editing efficiencies. These ABEs exhibit reduced off-target DNA editing effects and reduced off-target editing effects in cellular mRNA. In addition, methods for targeted nucleic acid editing are provided. Further provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the ABEs. Also provided are vectors and kits useful for the generation and delivery of the ABEs, including vector systems for engineering the ABEs through directed evolution. Cells containing such vectors and ABEs are also provided. Further provided are methods of treatment comprising administering the ABEs.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING GENETICALLY MODIFIED CELLS
A method for producing genetically engineered immune cells, e.g. T cells, or iPSCs which uses an RNA-scaffold mediated base editing system. The method enables precise modifications to be made to the genome whilst minimizing the possibility of off-target effects, making the method particularly suitable for therapeutic applications.
SUPERNEGATIVELY CHARGED PROTEINS AND USES THEREOF
Provided herein are compositions, systems, and methods for delivering an effector protein into a cell. The present disclosure, in some aspects, provide novel proteins delivering an effector protein into a cell. The novel proteins are supernegatively charged proteins derived from highly anionic proteins identified from the proteome (e.g., human proteome). The novel protein tags can be associated (e.g., covalently or nocovalently) with the protein to be delivered to facilitate delivery of the effector protein into a cell.

BASE-EDITING SYSTEMS
The present disclosure relates to base-editing systems including a fusion protein including a DNA-binding domain and a cytidine deaminase domain and a non-protein uracil-DNA glycosylase inhibitor, and methods of using the same. The DNA-binding domains of base-editing systems of the present disclosure include domains with a variety of target region possibilities, which increase the number and type of sequences that can be edited. The npUGIs of the base-editing systems of the present disclosure improve UDG inhibition (e.g., UDG inhibition is more complete) and are suitable for use in a wide range of organisms.
