CRISPR-Cas9 off-targeting assessment with nucleic acid duplex energy parameters

Abstract Background Recent experimental efforts of CRISPR-Cas9 systems have shown that off-target binding and cleavage are a concern for the system and that this is highly dependent on the selected guide RNA (gRNA) design. Computational predictions of off-targets have been proposed as an attractive...
