Abstract
CRISPOR.org is a web tool for genome editing experiments with the CRISPR–Cas9 system. It finds guide RNAs in an input sequence and ranks them according to different scores that evaluate potential off-targets in the genome of interest and predict on-target activity. The list of genomes is continuously expanded, with more 150 genomes added in the last two years. CRISPOR tries to provide a comprehensive solution from selection, cloning and expression of guide RNA as well as providing primers needed for testing guide activity and potential off-targets. Recent developments include batch design for genome-wide CRISPR and saturation screens, creating custom oligonucleotides for guide cloning and the design of next generation sequencing primers to test for off-target mutations. CRISPOR is available from http://crispor.org, including the full source code of the website and a stand-alone, command-line version.
