Abstract
Similarly to CRISPR–Cas systems, TnpB proteins from bacterial transposons can be employed as RNA-guided endonucleases for genome editing. By combining rational protein design and machine learning, ISDra2 TnpB variants with enhanced editing efficiency and a broader targeting range were developed, along with a prediction tool to design effective guiding RNAs.
