Published Workflows
Objective: Maximize prime editing efficiency and versatility across diverse cell types by systematically optimizing editor expression, pegRNA delivery, and related implementation variables.
Why it works: The abstract states that the combined strategy ensures robust, ubiquitous, and sustained expression of both prime editors and pegRNAs, which is presented as the basis for improved editing efficiency.

Stages
- 1.system optimization and build(library_build)
This stage exists to implement the optimization stack intended to maximize prime editing efficiency.
Selection: Combine stable editor integration, single-clone selection, enhanced promoter use, and lentiviral pegRNA delivery to improve prime editing performance.
- 2.performance assessment across loci and cell lines(functional_characterization)
This stage exists to determine whether the systematic optimizations improve editing efficiency broadly across test settings.
Selection: Assess editing efficiency across multiple loci and cell lines.
- 3.validation in challenging hPSC contexts(confirmatory_validation)
This stage exists to assess whether the optimized system remains effective in challenging cell types beyond the initial cell-line settings.
Selection: Test the optimized system in primed and naïve human pluripotent stem cells.
Steps
- 1.stably integrate prime editors using piggyBaceditor integration harness
Establish stable genomic integration of prime editors.
Stable editor integration is part of the optimization stack used to support robust and sustained expression before downstream validation.
- 2.select integrated single clones
Isolate single clones carrying the integrated editor system.
This follows editor integration because clone selection depends on having integrated cells to choose from.
- 3.use an enhanced promoter
Increase expression performance within the optimized prime editing system.
Promoter choice is part of the expression-optimization stack used to support robust and ubiquitous expression before performance testing.
- 4.deliver pegRNAs by lentiviruspegRNA delivery harness
Provide pegRNAs with robust, ubiquitous, and sustained expression.
PegRNA delivery is included as a key delivery optimization before evaluating editing outcomes.
- 5.measure editing efficiency across multiple loci and cell lines
Assess whether the optimization stack improves prime editing performance broadly.
Performance testing follows system construction so the combined optimizations can be evaluated.
- 6.validate the optimized system in primed and naïve hPSCs
Test whether the optimized system remains effective in challenging cell types.
This confirmatory validation is performed after broader cell-line testing to further assess efficacy in a more challenging context.
