Enhancing CRISPR-Cas9 gRNA efficiency prediction by data integration and deep learning

High-quality gRNA activity data is needed for accurate on-target efficiency predictions. Here the authors generate activity data for over 10,000 gRNA and build a deep learning model CRISPRon for improved performance predictions.
