A Multiplex CRISPR/Cas9 System for Use as an Anti-BmNPV Therapeutic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/associated protein 9 nuclease (CRISPR/Cas9) technology guided by a single-guide RNA (sgRNA) has recently opened a new avenue for antiviral therapy. A unique capability of the CRISPR/Cas9 system is multiple genome engineering. However, there are few applications in insect viruses by a single Cas9 enzyme targeting two or more sgRNA at different genomic sites for simultaneous production of multiple DNA breaks. To address the need for multi-gene editing and sustained delivery of multiplex CRISPR/Cas9-based genome engineering tools, we developed a one-vector (pSL1180-Cas9-U6-sgRNA) system to express multiple sgRNA and Cas9 protein to excise Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) in insect cells. Here, ie-1, gp64, lef-11, and dnapol genes were screened and identified as multiple sgRNA editing sites according to the BmNPV system infection and DNA replication mechanism. Furthermore, we constructed a multiplex editing vector sgMultiple to efficiently regulate multiplex gene editing steps and inhibit BmNPV replication after viral infection. This is the first report that describes the application of multiplex CRISPR/Cas9 system inhibiting insect virus replication. This multiplex system can significant enable the potential of CRISPR/Cas9-based multiplex genome engineering in transgenic silkworms.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
