- the identity between a reference sequence (query sequence, i.e. , a sequence of the disclosure) and a subject sequence, also referred to as a global sequence alignment can be determined using the FASTDB computer program based on the algorithm of Brutlag et al. (Comp. App . Biosci. 6:237-245 (1990) ) .
- the deletion occurs at the N-terminus of the subject sequence and therefore, the FASTDB alignment does not show a matching/alignment of the first 10 residues at the N-terminus.
- the 10 unpaired residues represent 10% of the sequence (number of residues at the N- and C-termini not matched/total number of residues in the query sequence) so 10% is subtracted from the percent identity score calculated by the FASTDB program. If the remaining 90 residues were perfectly matched the final percent identity can be 90%.
- a 90 residue subject sequence is compared with a 100 residue query sequence. This time the deletions are internal deletions so there are no residues at the N- or C-termini of the subject sequence which are not matched/aligned with the query.

- mice All animal care and experimental methods were performed in accordance with the University of California Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. 6-8 week old male C57B1/6J (JAX, #000664) and Balb/cJ (JAX, #000651) mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratories and systemic injections were administered retro- orbitally with either AAV or PBS.
- HEK293T cells were cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS, GlutaMAX (lx) (GIBCO) , and Penicillin-Streptomycin (100 U/mL) (GIBCO) .
- capsid particles as templates for qPCR, 2 pL of virus was added to 50 pL of alkaline digestion buffer (25mM NaOH, 0.2 mM EDTA) and boiled for 8 minutes. Following this, 50 pL of neutralization buffer (40mM Tris-HCl, .05% Tween-20, pH 5) was added to each sample.
- alkaline digestion buffer 25mM NaOH, 0.2 mM EDTA
- neutralization buffer 40mM Tris-HCl, .05% Tween-20, pH 5
- Each AAV capsid library was retro-orbitally administered to mice in duplicate at a dose of 2E12 vg/mouse for the AAV9-based libraries or 1E12 vg/mouse for the AAV5-based libraries.
- Two weeks after injection the heart, lung, liver, intestine, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, brain, and gastrocnemius muscle were harvested and placed in RNAlater storage solution.
- Total DNA was extracted from all mouse tissues using TRIzol reagent and the TNES-6U back extraction method. The resulting precipitated DNA was centrifuged for 15 minutes at 18,000G, and the supernatant discarded.
- PCR reactions were purified using a QIAquick PCR Purification Kit according to the manufacturer's protocol. Following this, 50 ng of the PCR amplicon was used as template for a secondary 50 pL KAPA Hifi Hotstart Readymix PCR reaction to add illumina compatible adapters and indices (NEBNext Cat# E7600S) . The PCR reaction was performed with an annealing temperature of 60 °C, an extension time of 30 seconds. To sequence the capsid libraries, a similar protocol was performed, with a modified template amount in the step-1 PCR.
- the model architecture was instantiated via a Keras sequential model (102) .
- a convolutional layer (ConvlD) with 32 filters, a kernel size of 3 and "relu" activation was fed into a max pooling layer (MaxPoollD) with pool size of 2.
- MaxPoollD max pooling layer
- These layers were followed with another set of convolutional and max pooling layers, this time with 64 filters in the convolutional layer.
- a flattening layer and final dense layer (with sigmoid activation) was then used to output resulting class probabilities.
- a separate independent model was trained for each organ.
- the classes (infective versus non-inf ective variants) were weighted proportionally to the inverse of the number of class examples.
- a dictionary describing the class weights was passed via the 'class weight' parameter.

- AUROC receiver operator characteristic curve
- MCC Matthews Correlation Coefficient
- sgRNA sequences targeting LRP6 or non-targeting controls were identified using CRISPick and cloned into the lentiCRISPR v2 plasmid backbone. Lentivirus was then produced as described in (33) . Briefly, HEK293T cells were seeded at -40% confluency the day before transfection. The day of transfection, Optimem serum reduced media was mixed with Lipof ectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher) , 3 pg of pMD2.
- lentiviral containing DMEM with 8pg/mL polybrene was added to the cells.
- the media was then replaced 24 hours later and then changed into puromycin (2]jg/mL) containing DMEM 28 hours post-transfection.
- Post selection once the cells reached confluency, they were passaged into a 24-well plate at -40% confluency.
- Immune orthogonal AAV capsids with sufficient packaging titer were then injected retro-orbitally into C57BL/6 mice at a dose of IxlO 12 viral genomes/mouse . Livers were harvested 3 weeks postinjection and total RNA was isolated as described above. cDNA was then generated and transgene expression was quantified via qPCR using the iTaq Universal SYBR green supermix and primers binding to the mCherry transcript. mCherry transgene expression was then normalized to GAPDH and the relative expression was compared to AAV5.
- the assay to assess immune antibody cross-reactivity of the identified immune orthogonal was performed as previously described. Prior to injection, serum was collected via tail snip procedure and then the mice were injected with IxlO 12 viral genomes/mouse of AAV or PBS in triplicate. 3 weeks later, serum was collected from each of the mice and the antibody cross-reactivity ELISA was performed. For this, IxlO 9 viral genomes of AAV8, AAV MM2, AAV MG1, AAV MG2 , or AAV CHI were diluted in a lx coating buffer and incubated overnight in each well of 96-well Nunc MaxiSorp plates.
- Plates were washed three times for 5 mins with lx wash buffer (Bethyl) and blocked with lx BSA blocking buffer (Bethyl) for 2 hours at room temperature. The wells were then washed again and serum samples were added at a 1:40 dilutions. Plates were incubated for 5 hours at 4°C with shaking. Wells were 3x washed and 100 pL of HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgGl (Bethyl; diluted 1:100,000 in 1% BSA) was added to each well. Secondary antibody was incubated for 1 hour at room temperature, wells were washed 3 times, and 100 pL of TMB substrate was added to each well. Optical density at 450 nm was measured using a microplate absorbance reader (BioRad iMark) .
- AAV5 and AAV9 were chosen as the starting serotypes. This was due to their established clinical utility as well as two key characteristics: one, AAV5 is more evolutionarily distant to other AAV serotypes in clinical use, and has previously been shown to be immune orthogonal (to other prevalent AAV serotypes thereby enabling their sequential redosing) ; and two, AAV9 has been used extensively for clinical trials and has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier outperforming other AAV serotypes in most tissues. To generate the library of diverse AAV variants, a DNA oligonucleotide pool of 275,298 gene fragments was generated (Fig. la-b) .
- Each gene fragment coded for a 20 amino acid peptide derived from the coding sequence of ligands with known extracellular receptors, or a gene predicted to have cellpenetrating or internalizing properties (Fig. la-b) .
- Protein ligands were sourced from the Guide to Pharmacology database, an expertly curated list of pharmacological targets and their associated ligands, and cell-penetrating/internalizing functionality was inferred through text mining of UniProt entries. Examples of protein classes identified as having potential internalizing function included toxins, histones, granzymes, viral receptor binding domains, and nuclear localization signal domains (NLS) .
- Mouse and human genomes share 80% of their protein coding genes, with 85% amino acid sequence identity between orthologs.
- PaqCI sites engineered to yield compatible overhangs were inserted at the ends of the peptide coding DNA library and on the AAV5/AAV9 cap plasmid DNA at sites coding for two distinct surface loops, hereon referred to as loop 1 and loop 2.
- Surface loop 1 (AA 443 and 456 on AAV5 and AAV9, respectively) and loop 2 (AA 576 and 587 on AAV5 and AAV9, respectively) were chosen as peptide insertion locations due to their distance from the viral particle core facilitating potential receptor engagement (Fig. lb) .
- AAV capsids To quantify how well different AAV cap variants package into functional capsids, recombinant AAV particles were generated with the engineered AAV5 and AAV9 cap plasmid libraries via transient triple transfection of HEK293T cells (Fig. 2a) . These viral particles were treated with benzonase to degrade residual plasmid DNA, and then subjected to next generation sequencing (NGS) to quantify relative variant abundance. Packaging efficiency was quantified by ranking AAV variants by the log2 fold change (log2FC) of their relative capsid abundance compared to their count in the plasmid pool (Fig. 2b) . Utilizing this method, over 250,000 AAV variants were identified which package efficiently into functional
- 25 AAV capsids were produced including 23 identified as successful packagers (log 2 FC >0) and 2 identified as non-packagers (log 2 FC ⁇ 0) .
- the 2 non-packagers yielded >10-fold lower titer than those identified as packagers, thus providing confidence in the AAV packaging metric.
- Consistent with their disruption of the AAV capsid structure there was also a depletion of non-functional stop codon control AAV variants in the capsid pool, and importantly this confirmed lack of library cross-packaging during AAV production (Fig. 2C) .
- tissue tropism of the variants largely recapitulated the screen predictions (Fig. 4c) , with 74.3% of the tissue tropism predictions matching expectations.
- AAV variants which specifically targeted hard to infect organs such as the muscle, lung, and brain, while simultaneously de-targeting away from the liver were identified (Fig. 4c) .
- protein level quantification of mCherry delivery to the liver, quantified via fluorescent microscopy, confirmed excellent concordance between mRNA and protein measures of tissue transduction (R 2 0.97) (Fig. 4d) .
- 9/21 variants were found to exceed AAV9 infectivity in at least one organ.
- Variants were identified which exceed AAV9 infectivity in all organs except the liver and pancreas, which had max relative transduction of 98.8% of WT AAV9 and 82.2% of WT AAV9 , respectively. Additionally, 18/21 variants had less than half the liver transduction of WT AAV9, with three variants below 5% AAV9 liver transduction levels (Fig. 4d) indicating clinically important liver de-targeting . To increase confidence in the fidelity of the individually validated variants in C67BL/6 mice, 3 of the above 21 variants were individually validated in BALB/c mice. Notably, their relative tropism was consistent across the two mouse strains.
- DKK1 was indeed an efficient lung transducing variant with greater than 2-3 fold higher expression than AAV9, and with consistent de-targeting across all other organs compared to AAV9 when quantified at both the RNA and protein level (Fig. 5a, bottom left and right) .
