Transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) have become an accepted tool for targeted mutagenesis, but undesired off-targets remain an important issue. We present TALENoffer, a novel tool for the genome-wide prediction of TALEN off-targets. We show that TALENoffer successfully predicts known off-targets of engineered TALENs and yields a competitive runtime, scanning complete mammalian genomes within a few minutes.
TALENoffer is available as a command line program from http://www.jstacs.de/index.php/TALENoffer and as a Galaxy server at http://galaxy.informatik.uni-halle.de.
转录激活因子样效应物核酸酶(TALENs)已成为一种用于靶向诱变的可接受工具,但非预期的脱靶仍然是一个重要问题。我们介绍了 TALENoffer,这是一种用于全基因组预测 TALEN 脱靶的新型工具。我们表明,TALENoffer 成功预测了工程 TALEN 的已知脱靶,并具有竞争力的运行时间,在几分钟内扫描完整的哺乳动物基因组。
TALENoffer 可作为命令行程序从 http://www.jstacs.de/index.php/TALENoffer 获得,并作为 Galaxy 服务器从 http://galaxy.informatik.uni-halle.de 获得。
