Abstract

Graphic abstract

Custom-designed nucleases, including CRISPR-Cas9 and CRISPR-Cpf1, are widely used to realize the precise genome editing. The high-coverage, low-cost and quantifiability make high-throughput sequencing (NGS) to be an effective method to assess the efficiency of custom-designed nucleases. However, contrast to standardized transcriptome protocol, the NGS data lacks a user-friendly pipeline connecting different tools that can automatically calculate mutation, evaluate editing efficiency and realize in a more comprehensive dataset that can be visualized. Here, we have developed an automatic stand-alone toolkit based on python script, namely CRISPRMatch, to process the high-throughput genome-editing data of CRISPR nuclease transformed protoplasts by integrating analysis steps like mapping reads and normalizing reads count, calculating mutation frequency (deletion and insertion), evaluating efficiency and accuracy of genome-editing, and visualizing the results (tables and figures). Both of CRISPR-Cas9 and CRISPR-Cpf1 nucleases are supported by CRISPRMatch toolkit and the integrated code has been released on GitHub (https://github.com/zhangtaolab/CRISPRMatch).

Keywords: CRISPR, NGS data, automatic pipeline, mutation calculation, genome-editing efficiency
