A survey of multi-targeting and off-targeting sgRNAs across five genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout sgRNA libraries with GuideRefine

Stefanus Bernard, Michael D. Rainey, Corrado Santocanale, Colm J. Ryan

The paper develops GuideRefine to identify and remove multi-targeting and off-targeting sgRNAs from CRISPR-KO libraries, improving the accuracy of gene hit lists.
