Gene/Insert 1

• Gene/Insert name: dCas9-KRAB-MeCP2 repressor
• Species: Streptococcus pyogenes
• Insert Size (bp): 5313
• Mutation: Catalytically dead mutant of the Cas9 endonuclease from the Streptococcus pyogenes Type II CRISPR/Cas system (Cas9m4) fused with Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) transcriptional repression domain from the human zinc finger protein ZNF1 (Margolin et al., 1994) and transcriptional repression domain from rat methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (Nan et al., 1997).

Gene/Insert 2

• Gene/Insert name: hU6 promoter and gRNA scaffold
• Species: H. sapiens (human); Streptococcus pyogenes
• Insert Size (bp): 343
• Mutation: hU6 promoter and gRNA scaffold containing SapI sites were amplified from pX330 containing SapI sites instead of BbsI sites (Czarnek et al., 2021).
