Abstract
BACKGROUND: The CRISPR-Cas9 system has emerged as one of the most promising gene-editing technologies in biology. However, off-target effects remain a significant challenge. While recent advances in deep learning have led to the development of models for off-target prediction, these models often fail to fully leverage sequence pair information. Furthermore, as the models' parameter sizes increase, so do their complexities, limiting their practical applicability.
