CRISPR-Cas systems have transformed the field of synthetic biology by providing a versatile method for genome editing. The efficiency of CRISPR systems is largely dependent on the sequence of the constituent sgRNA, necessitating the development of co...
Transcriptome engineering applications in living cells with RNA-targeting CRISPR effectors depend on accurate prediction of on-target activity and off-target avoidance. Here we design and test ~200,000 RfxCas13d guide RNAs targeting essential genes i...
A genetic knockout can be lethal to one human cell type while increasing growth rate in another. This context specificity confounds genetic analysis and prevents reproducible genome engineering. Genome-wide CRISPR compendia across most common human c...
Invasive rodent populations pose a threat to biodiversity across the globe. When confronted with these invaders, native species that evolved independently are often defenseless. CRISPR gene drive systems could provide a solution to this problem by sp...
This study aimed to analyze the effect of the deep learning algorithm on ultrasound elastography on the treatment of cervical cancer with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) short hairpin ribonucleic acid (shRNA) nanopa...
Highly specific Cas9 nucleases derived from SpCas9 are valuable tools for genome editing, but their wide applications are hampered by a lack of knowledge governing guide RNA (gRNA) activity. Here, we perform a genome-scale screen to measure gRNA acti...
Toxic misfolded proteins potentially underly many neurodegenerative diseases, but individual targets which regulate these proteins and their downstream detrimental effects are often unknown. Phenotypic screening is an unbiased method to screen for no...
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 a...
We present SplashRNA, a sequential classifier to predict potent microRNA-based short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs). Trained on published and novel data sets, SplashRNA outperforms previous algorithms and reliably predicts the most efficient shRNAs for a give...

The early detection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is crucial for the assessment and improvement of prognosis in cervical cancer. However, existing PCR-based screening methods suffer from inadequate accessibility, which dampens the enthus...
