The invention relates to a method for enriching a target polynucleotide sequence containing a genetic variation said method comprising: (a) providing two primers targeted to said target polynucleotide sequence; (b) providing a target specific xenonucleic acid clamp oligomer specific for a wildtype polynucleotide sequence; (c) generating multiple amplicons using PCR under specific temperature cycling conditions; and (d) detecting said amplicons. We introduce a novel molecule, Xenonucleic Acid (XNA) for the NGS library preparation. XNA is able to selectively suppress amplification of DNA with wild type alleles and amplify DNA containing mutant alleles. Mutants with low allelic frequency will be easily detectable without deep sequencing after enrichment by adding XNA in multiplex PCR. The 17 actionable mutants related to lung or colorectal cancer diseases at different variant allelic frequency (VAF) % were investigated. Clinical sensitivity is significantly improved with XNA in various types of samples.

The invention provides xenonucleic acids and synthetic chimeric xenonucleic acid guide RNA; s(XNA-gRNA) for enhancing crispr mediated genome editing efficiency. The invention also provides methods and compositions for inducing CRISPR/Cas-based gene editing/regulation (e.g., genome editing or gene expression) of a target nucleic acid (e.g., target DNA or target RNA) in a cell. The methods include using single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) that have been chemically modified with xeno nucleic acids which enhance gene regulation of the target nucleic acid in a primary cell for use in ex vivo therapy or in a cell in a subject for use in in vivo therapy. Additionally, provided herein are methods for preventing or treating a genetic disease in a subject by administering a sufficient amount of a sgRNA that has been chemically modified with xeno nucleic acids to correct a mutation in a target gene associated with the genetic disease.
