Abstract
Provided herein are compositions and methods for inducing CRISPR/Cas-based editing of a target nucleic acid (e.g., target DNA or target RNA) in vitro or in a cell, using modified prime editing guide RNAs (pegRNAs) that incorporate one or more chemically-modified nucleotides. The modified pegRNAs disclosed herein may be used to induce Cas-mediated incorporation of one or more nucleotide changes and/or targeted mutagenesis of a target nucleic acid. The nucleotide change can include, e.g., one or more nucleotide changes, an insertion of one or more nucleotides, or a deletion of one or more nucleotides.
