CrispRVariants

CrispRVariants analyzes CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis and other targeted sequencing data to identify, localize, and quantify variant allele combinations and mutation rates within specified genomic regions.


Key Features:

  • Localization of Variant Allele Combinations: Pinpoints variant allele combinations relative to specified genomic regions, such as the Cas9 cut site.
  • Plotting of Allele Combinations: Generates plots of allele combinations across genomic locations to visualize the spatial distribution of mutations.
  • Calculation of Mutation Rates: Computes mutation rates to assess CRISPR-Cas9 editing efficiency and specificity.
  • Flexible Filtering Options: Applies filters to exclude unrelated variants from analysis.

Scientific Applications:

  • CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis experiments: Quantitative analysis and spatial mapping of edits resulting from CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis experiments.
  • Targeted sequencing variant identification: Identification of variants within specific genomic regions in targeted sequencing studies.
  • Mutation pattern and rate analysis: Investigation of mutation patterns and rates to interpret genome-editing outcomes in genomic studies.

Methodology:

Localization of variant allele combinations to specified genomic regions (e.g., Cas9 cut site), plotting allele combinations across genomic locations, calculation of mutation rates, and application of flexible filters to exclude unrelated variants.
