CRISPR/Cas9 Guide RNA Design Tools Incorporate New Rules for On-Target Activity

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – A new algorithm for calculating on-target guide RNA efficiency is taking off in the field, both in home-grown and commercial CRISPR/Cas9 experiment design software. The fruit of a collaboration between scientists at the Broad Institute and machine learning experts at Microsoft Research, the algorithm has uncovered new rules and considerations for how well a single guide RNA (sgRNA) will work for gene knock-down experiments, with results that can be broadly applied.
