Abstract
The present disclosure provides a fusion polypeptide comprising: a) an enzymatically active RNA-guided endonuclease that introduces a single-stranded break in a target DNA; and b) an error-prone DNA polymerase. The present disclosure provides a system comprising: a) a fusion polypeptide of the present disclosure; and b) a guide RNA. The present disclosure provides a cell comprising a fusion polypeptide of the present disclosure, or a system of the present disclosure. The present disclosure provides a method of mutagenizing a target polynucleotide.

1-84. (canceled)
An editing system comprising:
- a) an enzymatically active RNA-guided endonuclease that introduces a break in at least one strand in a target DNA;
- b) a DNA polymerase that binds to the target DNA 5′ to the break;
- and
- c) a guide RNA that binds the endonuclease;
- d) wherein the endonuclease, DNA polymerase, and guide RNA are exogenously introduced into a cell, or are encoded by one or more exogenously introduced nucleic acids.
