Provides functions for counting reads from high-throughput sequencing screen data (e.g., CRISPR, shRNA) to quantify barcode abundance. Currently supports single barcodes in single- or paired-end data, and combinatorial barcodes in paired-end data.

This package is for designing Crispr/Cas9 and Prime Editing experiments. It contains functions to (1) define and transform genomic targets, (2) find spacers (4) count offtarget (mis)matches, and (5) compute Doench2016/2014 targeting efficiency. Care has been taken for multicrispr to scale well towards large target sets, enabling the design of large Crispr/Cas9 libraries.

Provides functionalities to visualize and contextualize CRISPR guide RNAs (gRNAs) on genomic tracks across nucleases and applications. Works in conjunction with the crisprBase and crisprDesign Bioconductor packages. Plots are produced using the Gviz framework.

The crisprVerse is a modular ecosystem of R packages developed for the design and manipulation of CRISPR guide RNAs (gRNAs). All packages share a common language and design principles. This package is designed to make it easy to install and load the crisprVerse packages in a single step. To learn more about the crisprVerse, visit <https://www.github.com/crisprVerse>.

Provides means to interactively visualize guide RNAs (gRNAs) in GuideSet objects via Shiny application. This GUI can be self-contained or as a module within a larger Shiny app. The content of the app reflects the annotations present in the passed GuideSet object, and includes intuitive tools to examine, filter, and export gRNAs, thereby making gRNA design more user-friendly.

Provides R wrappers of several on-target and off-target scoring methods for CRISPR guide RNAs (gRNAs). The following nucleases are supported: SpCas9, AsCas12a, enAsCas12a, and RfxCas13d (CasRx). The available on-target cutting efficiency scoring methods are RuleSet1, RuleSet3, DeepHF, enPAM+GB, and CRISPRscan. Both the CFD and MIT scoring methods are available for off-target specificity prediction. The package also provides a Lindel-derived score to predict the probability of a gRNA to produce indels inducing a frameshift for the Cas9 nuclease. Note that DeepHF and enPAM+GB are not available on Windows machines.

Provides a comprehensive suite of functions to design and annotate CRISPR guide RNA (gRNAs) sequences. This includes on- and off-target search, on-target efficiency scoring, off-target scoring, full gene and TSS contextual annotations, and SNP annotation (human only). It currently support five types of CRISPR modalities (modes of perturbations): CRISPR knockout, CRISPR activation, CRISPR inhibition, CRISPR base editing, and CRISPR knockdown. All types of CRISPR nucleases are supported, including DNA- and RNA-target nucleases such as Cas9, Cas12a, and Cas13d. All types of base editors are also supported. gRNA design can be performed on reference genomes, transcriptomes, and custom DNA and RNA sequences. Both unpaired and paired gRNA designs are enabled.

Provides a user-friendly interface to map on-targets and off-targets of CRISPR gRNA spacer sequences using bwa. The alignment is fast, and can be performed using either commonly-used or custom CRISPR nucleases. The alignment can work with any reference or custom genomes. Currently not supported on Windows machines.

Provides a user-friendly interface to map on-targets and off-targets of CRISPR gRNA spacer sequences using bowtie. The alignment is fast, and can be performed using either commonly-used or custom CRISPR nucleases. The alignment can work with any reference or custom genomes. Both DNA- and RNA-targeting nucleases are supported.

Provides S4 classes for general nucleases, CRISPR nucleases, CRISPR nickases, and base editors.Several CRISPR-specific genome arithmetic functions are implemented to help extract genomic coordinates of spacer and protospacer sequences. Commonly-used CRISPR nuclease objects are provided that can be readily used in other packages. Both DNA- and RNA-targeting nucleases are supported.
