We present GuideScan software for the design of CRISPR guide RNA libraries that can be used to edit coding and noncoding genomic regions. GuideScan produces high-density sets of guide RNAs (gRNAs) for single- and paired-gRNA genome-wide screens. We also show that the trie data structure of GuideScan enables the design of gRNAs that are more specific than those designed by existing tools.
我们展示了用于设计CRISPR向导RNA文库的GuideScan软件,该文库可用于编辑编码和非编码基因组区域。GuideScan为全基因组单向导RNA和双向导RNA筛选生成高密度的向导RNA(gRNA)集。我们还表明,GuideScan的前缀树数据结构能够设计出比现有工具设计的gRNA更具特异性的gRNA。
