We proposed an ensemble convolutional neural network model to identify sgRNA high on-target activity in four crops and we used one-hot encoding and k-mers for sequence encoding. As an important component of the CRISPR/Cas9 system, single-guide RNA (s...
Machine learning provides researchers a unique opportunity to make metabolic engineering more predictable. In this review, we offer an introduction to this discipline in terms that are relatable to metabolic engineers, as well as providing in-depth i...
The CRISPR-Cas are adaptive bacterial and archaeal immunity systems that have been harnessed for the development of powerful genome editing and engineering tools. In the incessant host-parasite arms race, viruses evolved multiple anti-defense mechani...
Biosystems such as enzymes, pathways, and whole cells have been increasingly explored for biotechnological applications. However, the intricate connectivity and resulting complexity of biosystems poses a major hurdle in designing biosystems with desi...
Although base editors are widely used to install targeted point mutations, the factors that determine base editing outcomes are not well understood. We characterized sequence-activity relationships of 11 cytosine and adenine base editors (CBEs and AB...
BACKGROUND: The latest works on CRISPR genome editing tools mainly employs deep learning techniques. However, deep learning models lack explainability and they are harder to reproduce. We were motivated to build an accurate genome editing tool using ...
BACKGROUND: CRISPR/Cas9 system, as the third-generation genome editing technology, has been widely applied in target gene repair and gene expression regulation. Selection of appropriate sgRNA can improve the on-target knockout efficacy of CRISPR/Cas9...
We evaluated SpCas9 activities at 12,832 target sequences using a high-throughput approach based on a human cell library containing single-guide RNA-encoding and target sequence pairs. Deep learning-based training on this large dataset of SpCas9-indu...
BACKGROUND: One of the main challenges for the CRISPR-Cas9 system is selecting optimal single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs). Recently, deep learning has enhanced sgRNA prediction in eukaryotes. However, the prokaryotic chromatin structure is different from euk...
The CRISPR-Cas9 system has become the most promising and versatile tool for genetic manipulation applications. Albeit the technology has been broadly adopted by both academic and pharmaceutic societies, the activity (on-target) and specificity (off-t...
