Deskripsi
Off-target effects in CRISPR screens for essential regulatory elements have not been systematically evaluated. Here the authors find Cas9 nuclease, CRISPRi/a each have distinct off-target effects, and that these can be accurately identified and removed using the GuideScan sgRNA specificity score.
