Abstract
Summary: sgRNAs targeting the same gene can significantly vary in terms of efficacy and specificity. PAVOOC (Prediction And Visualization of On- and Off-targets for CRISPR) is a web-based CRISPR sgRNA design tool that employs state-of-the art machine learning models to prioritize most effective candidate sgRNAs. In contrast to other tools, it maps sgRNAs to functional domains and protein structures and visualizes cut sites on corresponding protein crystal structures. Furthermore, PAVOOC supports HDR template generation for gene editing experiments and the visualization of the mutated amino acids in 3D. Availability and Implementation: PAVOOC is available under https://pavooc.me and accessible using current browsers (Chrome/Chromium recommended). The source code is hosted at github.com/moritzschaefer/pavooc under the MIT License. The backend, including data processing steps, and the frontend is implemented in Python 3 and ReactJS respectively. All components run in a simple Docker environment. Contact: mail@moritzs.de
