1. A chimeric RNA for targeted genomic modification of a cell, wherein the chimeric RNA comprises:
a) a guide RNA comprising a polynucleotide targeting guide sequence of at least 8 contiguous nucleotides and at least 80% identical to a target nucleic acid sequence of at least 8 contiguous nucleotides within a target nucleic acid molecule; and
b) a bait RNA comprising at least 8 contiguous nucleic acids, wherein the nucleic acid sequence of the bait RNA is at least 70% complementary to at least 8 contiguous nucleic acids of a donor DNA molecule, wherein the donor DNA molecule is intended for integration into the genome of a cell, wherein a tracrRNA is operably linked to said bait RNA sequence.
