AI Accurately Predicts On- and Off-Target Activity of CRISPR Tools

July 10, 2023 - A new study published last week in Nature Biotechnology demonstrated that a deep learning (DL) tool can predict on- and off-target activity of RNA-targeting CRISPR tools, which may spur the development of new CRISPR-based therapies. CRISPR genome-editing technology has garnered significant interest from the precision medicine community in recent...
