Cas-analyzer
Cas-analyzer analyzes genome editing outcomes from Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data to quantify mutation frequencies and assess editing efficiency and specificity.
Key Features:
- Client-Side Processing: Implemented in JavaScript to execute entirely within a client-side web browser and perform on-the-fly processing of NGS datasets.
- NGS-based Mutation Quantification: Computes mutation frequencies from NGS reads to enable measurement of genome editing outcomes.
- Support for Programmable Nucleases: Accommodates various programmable nucleases, including CRISPR-Cas9 and both single and paired nuclease configurations.
Scientific Applications:
- Mutation Frequency Quantification: Quantifying mutation frequencies induced by CRISPR-Cas9 and other programmable nucleases using NGS data.
- Assessment of Editing Efficiency and Specificity: Assessing efficiency and specificity of genetic modifications from NGS datasets.
- Genetics, Biotechnology, and Therapeutic Research: Supporting studies that require precise evaluation of genome editing outcomes for genetic research, biotechnology, and therapeutic development.
Methodology:
Implemented in JavaScript to perform client-side computation and on-the-fly processing of NGS datasets within a web browser, avoiding remote data uploads.
