First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A nucleic acid-guided nickase selected from the following nickases: MAD2017-H847A, having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5; and MAD2017-N870A, having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6. 2. The nickase of claim 1 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5. 3. The nickase of claim 1 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6. 4. The nickase of claim 1 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, in a nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a gRNA scaffold having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 16, SEQ ID NO: 25, SEQ ID NO: 26, or SEQ ID NO: 27. 5. The nickase of claim 4 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, in the nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a gRNA scaffold having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14. 6. The nickase of claim 4 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, in the nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a gRNA scaffold having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 15. 7. The nickase of claim 4 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, in the nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a gRNA scaffold having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 16. 8. The nickase of claim 4 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, in the nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a gRNA scaffold having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 25. 9. The nickase of claim 4 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, in the nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a gRNA scaffold having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 26. 10. The nickase of claim 4 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, in the nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a gRNA scaffold having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 27. 11. The nickase of claim 1 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, in a nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a gRNA scaffold having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 16, SEQ ID NO: 25, SEQ ID NO: 26, or SEQ ID NO: 27. 12. The nickase of claim 11 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, in the nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a gRNA scaffold having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14. 13. The nickase of claim 11 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, in the nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a gRNA scaffold having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 15. 14. The nickase of claim 11 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, in the nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a gRNA scaffold having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 16. 15. The nickase of claim 11 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, in the nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a gRNA scaffold having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 25. 16. The nickase of claim 11 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, in the nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a gRNA scaffold having the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 26. 17. The nickase of claim 11 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, in the system with a gRNA scaffold having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 27. 18. The nickase of claim 1 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5, in a nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a native CRISPR repeat having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12 and a native tracr RNA having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 13. 19. The nickase of claim 1 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, in a nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system with a native CRISPR repeat having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12 and a native tracr RNA having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 13. 20. The nickase of claim 1 having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5 or SEQ ID NO; 4, in a nucleic acid-guided nickase editing system comprising a guide RNA wherein the guide comprises from 5′ to 3′ a guide sequence, a homology region and SEQ ID NO. 30.
