US Patent 11680268 Methods for improving CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome-editing

This application provides improved methods of editing the genome of a target cell. Cas9 molecules can be used to create a break in a genomic region of interest. To increase the likelihood that the break is repaired by homology-directed repair (HDR), the cell can be contacted with an HDR-enhancer. The cell may be, e.g., a human cell, a non-human animal cell, a bacterial cell, or a plant cell.
