Abstract
Provided are compositions, systems, and methods useful for effecting gene editing in eukaryotic cells. Compositions include plasmids that encode one or more viral fusion proteins in which one or more viral proteins are fused with an aptamer-binding protein. Compositions also include plasmids that encode a non-viral nucleic acid sequence, wherein the non-viral nucleic acid sequence encodes a CRISPR system component. In some instances, the non-viral nucleic acid sequence also includes an aptamer sequence. The plasmids can be used to generate viral particles, including lentivirus-like particles that contain a viral fusion protein and a non-viral RNA sequence. Systems of producing such viral particles are provided. Also provided are methods of using the viral particles of the disclosure to effect gene editing in eukaryotic cells.
