Published Workflows
Objective: Develop and apply a rapid plant assay to evaluate somatic genome editing efficiency and use it to optimize the ISAam1 TnpB nuclease.
Why it works: The workflow uses a hairy-root-transformation-based system that is described as simple, rapid, easy to implement, non-sterile, and able to visually identify transgenic hairy roots within two weeks, enabling practical evaluation of plant somatic editing activity.

Stages
- 1.Hairy-root assay system development(functional_characterization)
To create an efficient plant evaluation system for genome editing activity given variability across editing systems and target sites.
Selection: Establish a simple, rapid, and efficient plant system for evaluating somatic genome editing efficiency.
- 2.CRISPR/Cas9 validation of assay system(confirmatory_validation)
To validate the newly developed assay before applying it to ISAam1 TnpB evaluation.
Selection: Confirm the effectiveness of the hairy-root-based evaluation system using an established genome editing platform.
- 3.ISAam1 somatic editing assessment(functional_characterization)
To evaluate the plant somatic editing performance of ISAam1 after assay validation.
Selection: Assess somatic editing activity of ISAam1 TnpB in the validated plant assay system.
- 4.Protein engineering-based ISAam1 optimization(hit_picking)
To optimize ISAam1 performance in plants by finding improved variants.
Selection: Identify ISAam1 variants with enhanced somatic editing efficiency.
Steps
- 1.Develop hairy-root-transformation-based somatic editing evaluation systemassay method
Create a simple, rapid, and efficient plant assay for somatic genome editing efficiency.
An efficient evaluation system is needed because editing activity varies across genome editing systems and target sites in plants.
- 2.Validate the assay system using CRISPR/Cas9assay platform under validation
Confirm that the newly developed hairy-root assay effectively reports plant genome editing activity.
The system is validated before being applied to ISAam1 so that subsequent ISAam1 measurements are supported by an effective assay.
- 3.Assess ISAam1 somatic editing activity in the validated assayengineered nuclease evaluated in assay system
Measure somatic editing activity of ISAam1 in plants.
ISAam1 is tested after assay validation to evaluate its plant editing activity in a confirmed system.
- 4.Identify improved ISAam1 variants by protein engineeringparent nuclease and improved variants evaluated in assay
Find ISAam1 variants with higher somatic editing efficiency.
Variant optimization follows baseline ISAam1 assessment so improved versions can be identified using the established assay.

The system is based on hairy root transformation and visual identification of transgenic hairy roots. The abstract also indicates it was used with CRISPR/Cas9 and ISAam1-based editing constructs.; based on hairy root transformation; supports visual identification of transgenic hairy roots
Independent follow-up evidence is still limited. Validation breadth across biological contexts is still narrow. Independent reuse still looks limited, so the evidence base may be fragile. No canonical validation observations are stored yet, so context-specific performance remains under-specified.
