CRISPRpred(SEQ): a sequence-based method for sgRNA on target activity prediction using traditional machine learning.

BMC bioinformatics
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 ...

SpCas9 activity prediction by DeepSpCas9, a deep learning-based model with high generalization performance.

Science advances
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...

Prediction of sgRNA on-target activity in bacteria by deep learning.

BMC bioinformatics
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...

An overview and metanalysis of machine and deep learning-based CRISPR gRNA design tools.

RNA biology
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...

Optimized CRISPR guide RNA design for two high-fidelity Cas9 variants by deep learning.

Nature communications
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...

Prediction of activity and specificity of CRISPR-Cpf1 using convolutional deep learning neural networks.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: CRISPR-Cpf1 has recently been reported as another RNA-guided endonuclease of class 2 CRISPR-Cas system, which expands the molecular biology toolkit for genome editing. However, most of the online tools and applications to date have been d...

Unlocking HDR-mediated nucleotide editing by identifying high-efficiency target sites using machine learning.

Scientific reports
Editing individual nucleotides is a crucial component for validating genomic disease association. It is currently hampered by CRISPR-Cas-mediated "base editing" being limited to certain nucleotide changes, and only achievable within a small window ar...

Prediction of CRISPR sgRNA Activity Using a Deep Convolutional Neural Network.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The CRISPR-Cas9 system derived from adaptive immunity in bacteria and archaea has been developed into a powerful tool for genome engineering with wide-ranging applications. Optimizing single-guide RNA (sgRNA) design to improve efficiency of target cl...

A machine learning approach for predicting CRISPR-Cas9 cleavage efficiencies and patterns underlying its mechanism of action.

PLoS computational biology
The adaptation of the CRISPR-Cas9 system as a genome editing technique has generated much excitement in recent years owing to its ability to manipulate targeted genes and genomic regions that are complementary to a programmed single guide RNA (sgRNA)...

Learning to utilize internal protein 3D nanoenvironment descriptors in predicting CRISPR-Cas9 off-target activity.

NAR genomics and bioinformatics
Despite advances in determining the factors influencing cleavage activity of a CRISPR-Cas9 single guide RNA (sgRNA) at an (off-)target DNA sequence, a comprehensive assessment of pertinent physico-chemical/structural descriptors is missing. In partic...
