OpenCRISPR
AI-generated gene editing systems
Stars: 253
OpenCRISPR is a set of free and open gene editing systems designed by Profluent Bio. The OpenCRISPR-1 protein maintains the prototypical architecture of a Type II Cas9 nuclease but is hundreds of mutations away from SpCas9 or any other known natural CRISPR-associated protein. You can view OpenCRISPR-1 as a drop-in replacement for many protocols that need a cas9-like protein with an NGG PAM and you can even use it with canonical SpCas9 gRNAs. OpenCRISPR-1 can be fused in a deactivated or nickase format for next generation gene editing techniques like base, prime, or epigenome editing.

What is OpenCRISPR-1? OpenCRISPR-1 is an AI-created gene editor, consisting of a Cas9-like protein and guide RNA, fully developed using Profluent’s large language models (LLMs). The OpenCRISPR-1 protein maintains the prototypical architecture of a Type II Cas9 nuclease but is hundreds of mutations away from SpCas9 or any other known natural CRISPR-associated protein. You can view OpenCRISPR-1 as a drop-in replacement for many protocols that need a cas9-like protein with an NGG PAM and you can even use it with canonical SpCas9 gRNAs. OpenCRISPR-1 can be fused in a deactivated or nickase format for next generation gene editing techniques like base, prime, or epigenome editing. Find out more in our preprint.
Why are you releasing OpenCRISPR free of charge – what’s the catch? There is no catch. OpenCRISPR is free for commercial use to any users who take a license. In a world where gene editing technologies can be difficult to access for both researchers and patients for various reasons, we felt the need to put our company mission into action and release some of the byproducts of our prolific protein design engine to enable more discoveries in the gene editing industry. For partners where further customization and expanded features for OpenCRISPR or another system might be desired, we offer a high-touch collaboration model.
Are you really not asking for anything? In addition to abiding by our terms of use, we kindly ask that you allow us to acknowledge you as a user and to let us know when any products using OpenCRISPR advance to the clinic or commercial stages.
Have you filed IP on OpenCRISPR? Yes.
If OpenCRISPR is truly open source, then why do I need to sign a license agreement? The sequence is freely available via the pre-print. We considered many factors to make accessing OpenCRISPR as frictionless and lightweight as possible; chief among these was ensuring its ethical and safe use. For this reason, if OpenCRISPR users wish to use the molecule for commercial therapeutic uses, we require them to execute a simple license agreement that includes obligations to use the tool for ethical purposes only, in addition to other terms of use.
What does the license include? The current release includes the protein sequence of OpenCRISPR-1 along with a compatible AI-generated gRNA, though it is also compatible with canonical Cas9 gRNAs.
Will there be additional OpenCRISPR releases in the future? Stay tuned…
Do you provide protocols? Please see our pre-print in bioRxiv for a general protocol in addition to a readme protocol that accompanies the sequence release. Other general protocols for editing enzymes should also be compatible.
Is there a way to share my experience using OpenCRISPR with Profluent? We expressly welcome any feedback on OpenCRISPR and especially sharing of any observations as you’re using the system. If you find that certain attributes could be changed or improved for your particular needs, please reach out!
OpenCRISPR is interesting, but I have more needs; what does Profluent offer? We are open to collaboratively iterate and customize an AI-designed solution that is a perfect match for your specific therapeutic application. This ranges from customized gene editors, antibodies, and broader enzymes. Please email [email protected]

TypeChat
TypeChat is a library that simplifies the creation of natural language interfaces using types. Traditionally, building natural language interfaces has been challenging, often relying on complex decision trees to determine intent and gather necessary inputs for action. Large language models (LLMs) have simplified this process by allowing us to accept natural language input from users and match it to intent. However, this has introduced new challenges, such as the need to constrain the model's response for safety, structure responses from the model for further processing, and ensure the validity of the model's response. Prompt engineering aims to address these issues, but it comes with a steep learning curve and increased fragility as the prompt grows in size.
