Compositions and methods are provided for rapid characterization of Cas endonuclease systems and the elements comprising such a systems, including, but not limiting to, rapid characterization of PAM sequences, guide RNA elements and Cas endonucleases. Type II Cas9 endonuclease systems originating from Brevibacillus laterosporus, Lactobacillus reuteri Mlc3, Lactobacillus rossiae DSM 15814, Pediococcus pentosaceus SL4, Lactobacillus nodensis JCM 14932, Sulfurospirillum sp. SCADC, Bifidobacterium thermophilum DSM 20210, Loktanella vestfoldensis, Sphingomonas sanxanigenens NX02, Epilithonimonas tenax DSM 16811, Sporocytophaga myxococcoides are described herein. The present disclosure also describes methods for genome modification of a target sequence in the genome of a cell, for gene editing, and for inserting a polynucleotide of interest into the genome of a cell. |
