CRISPOR

CRISPOR (paper) is a program that helps design, evaluate and clone guide sequences for the CRISPR/Cas9 system. CRISPOR Manual
New in V4.4, Apr 2018: Doench2016-score update, xCas9 support, new Cpf1 and saCas9 scores - Full list of changes

Step 1

Planning a lentiviral gene knockout screen? Use CRISPOR Batch
Sequence name (optional):
Enter a single genomic sequence, < 2000 bp, typically an exon CRISPOR conserves the lowercase and uppercase format of your sequence, allowing to highlight sequence features of interest such as ATG or STOP codons.<br>Avoid using cDNA sequences as input, CRISPR guides that straddle splice sites are unlikely to work.<br>You can paste a single >23bp sequence and even multiple sequences, separated by N characters.

Text case is preserved, e.g. you can mark ATGs with lowercase.
Instead of a sequence, you can paste a chromosome range, e.g. chr1:11908-12378

Step 2

Select a genome

Note: pre-calculated exonic guides for this species are on the UCSC Genome Browser.

We have 276 genomes, but not the one you need? Send its FASTA/GFF URL to CRISPOR support

Step 3

The most common system uses the NGG PAM recognized by Cas9 from S. <i>pyogenes</i>.
