DNA+RNA Dual-Dimensional Detection

Base editing technology enables precise single-base conversion without double-strand breaks, covering over 60% of known pathogenic point mutations. However, its unique dual off-target mechanism presents safety challenges far exceeding traditional CRISPR tools.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

The Next Revolution in Gene Editing

Base editing technology achieves precise single-base conversion without double-strand breaks, showing tremendous potential in genetic disease and cancer treatment. However, its unique off-target mechanisms present unprecedented safety assessment challenges.

Dual Off-Target Mechanisms

  • sgRNA-dependent Off-targeting: Triggered by Cas9 mismatch binding at homologous genomic sequences, similar to traditional CRISPR mechanisms and highly predictable
  • sgRNA-independent Off-targeting: Unique to base editing, caused by deaminase domains randomly binding ssDNA or RNA, resulting in genome-wide random base conversions. Unpredictable by sequence homology and the primary regulatory focus

Three Key Industry Pain Points

  • High Technical Barrier: sgRNA-independent off-targets require emerging technologies like Detect-seq/Ino-seq, which most enterprises lack in-house capabilities
  • Complex Vendor Coordination: Few institutions provide complete CBE/ABE detection services, requiring coordination with multiple vendors
  • RNA Off-Target Assessment Challenge: Accurately identifying base editor-induced RNA off-target signals from transcriptome background noise remains an industry-wide challenge
SOLUTION

Tripartite End-to-End Safety Assessment System

For the unique off-target mechanisms of CBE and ABE, we have constructed a multi-level, dual-dimensional detection strategy forming a complete evidence chain meeting regulatory requirements.

1

DNA-Level Off-Target Detection Platform

Uses dedicated technologies for CBE and ABE respectively: Detect-seq specifically captures deoxyuridine (dU) intermediates for CBE; Ino-seq tracks deoxyinosine (dI) products for ABE. Combined with 100X WGS and specialized software prediction for comprehensive off-target coverage.

Sequencing Depth: ≥100X WGS
2

RNA-Level Off-Target Detection Platform

Captures random RNA editing events triggered by base editor deaminases through specialized RNA-seq analysis workflows. Distinguishes editing events in Alu repeat and non-repeat regions, comprehensively annotating 12 base editing types to fill DNA detection blind spots.

3

Off-Target Site Validation Platform

Combines Targeted Enrichment Sequencing (TES) with deep amplicon sequencing for stepwise validation. Introduces UMI technology to eliminate PCR amplification bias, enabling high-sensitivity quantitative validation of candidate off-target sites.

Validation Sensitivity: 0.01%
