| Sumario: | Abstract The off-target effect, in which DNA cleavage was conducted outside the targeted region, is a major problem which limits the applications of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system. CRISPR Off-target Predictor (CROP) is standalone program developed to address this problem by predicting off-target propensity of guide RNAs and thereby allowing the user to select the optimum guides. The approach used by CROP involves generating substitution, deletion and insertion combinations which are then mapped into the reference genome. Based on these mapped variants, scoring and alignment are conducted and then reported as a table comprising the off-target propensity of all guide RNAs from a given gene sequence. The Python script for this program is freely available from: https://github.com/vaprilyanto/crop . |
