RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Accurate analysis of genuine CRISPR editing events with ampliCan JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 249474 DO 10.1101/249474 A1 Labun, Kornel A1 Guo, Xiaoge A1 Chavez, Alejandro A1 Church, George A1 Gagnon, James A1 Valen, Eivind YR 2018 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/01/17/249474.abstract AB We present ampliCan, an analysis tool that unites identification, quantification and visualization of genuine genome editing events from CRISPR amplicon sequencing data. ampliCan overcomes methodological challenges suffered by other tools to estimate the true mutational efficiency in a high-throughput automated fashion. ampliCan controls for biases at every step of the analysis and generates reports that allow users to quickly identify successful editing events or potential issues with their experiments. We benchmarked ampliCan against other leading tools demonstrating that it outperformed all in the face of common confounding factors.
