XDel delivers higher and more consistent on-target editing compared to single-guide, ensuring superior editing performance

While traditional single-guide knockouts demonstrate a wide and often unpredictable range of on-target editing efficiencies, EditCo XDel technology stands out for its consistent high performance. XDel ensures reliable outcomes across many different cell lines, often outperforming single-guide in both efficiency and reproducibility.

bar_plot_all_on-targets_MGKO_vs_SGKO-1

Figure 1. XDel multiple gRNA on-target editing efficiency is significantly higher and more consistent compared to single-guide RNA methods.  On-target editing efficiency of multi-guide (pink bars) vs their 3 respective single-guide RNAs (blue bars) across 7 endogenous target loci transfected in two immortalized (IMM) and two iPSC cell lines indicates that XDel technology delivers significantly higher and more consistent on-target editing efficiency compared to single-guide. Each transfection was performed in triplicate and data were analyzed via NGS by EditCo’s proprietary software analysis.

 

XDel technology maximizes on-target gene editing while minimizing off-target effects compared to single-guide editing

Unlike single-guide RNA strategies, which show variable editing efficiencies across different doses, EditCo’s XDel technology consistently achieves high on-target editing efficiency. This reproducibility highlights the robustness of XDel technology ensuring superior and reproducible editing performance, allowing you to focus on your research without the need for additional optimization.

bar_plot_all_off-targets_XDel_vs_SGKO_cell_lineage-2

Figure 2.  XDel multiple guide RNA off-target editing efficiency is significantly lower compared to single guide RNA methods. Off-target editing efficiency of XDel cells (pink bars) at all 3 of their respective single-guide off-target sites vs their 3 respective single-guide RNAs (blue bars) across 63 off-target loci (3 off-target loci per 7 on-target site tested) transfected in two immortalized (IMM) and two iPSC cell lines indicates that XDel cells deliver significantly lower off-target editing efficiency compared to single-guide. Each transfection was performed in triplicate and data were analyzed via NGS by EditCo's proprietary software analysis.

 

Robust Knockouts Without Compromising Quality 

XDel pools and clones were tested for karyotyping and PluriTest™ to confirm genomic stability and pluripotency.

 

XDel knockout cell pools show persistent protein depletion, enabling  their direct and reliable use in functional assays

Multi-guide KO Gel

Figure 3. Edited cell pools utilizing the multi-guide technology shows persistent protein depletion. This enables direct and reliable use of these cell pools for functional assays. Western blot analyses for all 5 knockout target genes indicate a complete depletion of proteins across the 3 specified time points (days 7, 14, and 21) relative to the negative controls. Knockout cell pools for the target genes were generated by nucleofecting U2OS cells with multi-guide sgRNA and Cas9 (as RNPs). A negative control pool was also transfected for each target using non-targeting sgRNA.

 

How does the XDel strategy work?

Traditional CRISPR knockout methods often depend on a single guide RNA that, in tandem with SpCas9, generates assorted insertions or deletions (indels) at the target cut site. This approach can be unpredictable, leading to variable edits and incomplete knockouts.

EditCo’s smart informatics generates a multi-guide design which is composed of up to 3 sgRNAs targeting a single gene of interest. The guides are spatially coordinated and work cooperative to induce a guided repair that results in fragment deletion in an early exon, making it the most reliable knockout strategy compared to other pooled strategies. 

 

Multi-giude schematic-new

Figure 4. XDel design includes up to 3 modified sgRNAs (grey bars) that target a single gene of interest. When co-transfected, the sgRNAs create concurrent double-stranded breaks at the targeted genomic locus and consequently induce one or more 21+ bp fragment deletions

Validate your Assays with up to 95% Protein Knockout

EditCo’s Knockout Cell Pool gives you the protein knockout you need in the cell line you want, enabling you to either assay pools directly or quickly move to isolate single cell clones.

Gene Protein KO

Figure 1. EditCo’s Knockout Cell Pool achieved 95% protein knockout without clonal expansion. A cell pool with a surface protein knocked out was generated in U2OS cells with a Knockout Score of 87% (left panel, which is the percentage of indels that either introduce a frameshift mutation or are larger than 21 nucleotides, analyzed by ICE). Levels of this protein were analyzed by flow cytometry (blue) and were reduced by 95% relative to wild type (green, right panel). Negative control samples were stained with an isotype control antibody (purple). Data provided by Eurofins-DiscoverX.
