Multiplexed assays of variant effect (MAVEs) perform simultaneous characterization of many variants. Prime editing has been recently adopted for introducing many variants in their native genomic contexts. However, robust protocols and standards are limited, preventing widespread uptake. Herein, we describe curated loci prime editing (cliPE) which is an accessible, low-cost experimental pipeline to perform MAVEs using prime editing of a target gene, as well as a companion Shiny app (pegRNA Designer) to rapidly and easily design user-specific MAVE libraries.
