CRISPR gRNA Designer

This skill designs high-efficiency guide RNAs for gene editing experiments.

When to use this skill

  • When a user provides a gene name (e.g., "TP53"), Ensembl ID, or DNA sequence.
  • When the user wants to perform "knockout", "activation" (CRISPRa), or "interference" (CRISPRi).
  • When specificity and off-target minimization are requested.

How to use it

  1. Identify Target Locus:
    • Resolve the gene name to the current reference genome (GRCh38 for humans).
    • Identify functional domains (exons) that are constitutively expressed.
  2. Design gRNAs:
    • Select 20nt targets adjacent to NGG PAM sites.
    • Prioritize 5' constitutive exons for knockouts to ensure early truncation.
  3. Score Candidates:
    • Calculate On-Target Efficiency (e.g., Rule Set 2 score).
    • Calculate Off-Target Specificity (CFD score) by searching the whole genome for mismatches.
  4. Output Table:
    • Return a markdown table with: Sequence, PAM, On-Target Score, Off-Target Score, and Genomic Location.
    • Recommend the top 3 guides.
