Designs pooled sgRNA libraries for CRISPR knockout, interference (CRISPRi), activation (CRISPRa), Cas12a multiplex, base-editor, and prime-editor screens. Covers on-target scoring (Rule Set 2, Azimuth, DeepSpCas9, CRISPRon), off-target scoring (CFD, MIT), TSS-relative positioning for CRISPRi/a (Horlbeck, Dolcetto, Calabrese), PAM-variant chemistries, control-guide composition, oligo cloning architecture, and library QC. Use when choosing a genome-wide library…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: CRISPOR 5.01+, BioPython 1.83+, pandas 2.2+, numpy 1.26+, Azimuth 2.0+ (Doench 2016), CRISPRon 1.0+ (Xiang 2021), DeepSpCas9 1.0+ (Kim 2019).

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:
- CLI: `crispor.py --help` from the crisporWebsite clone
- Python: Azimuth has no console script; call `azimuth.model_comparison.predict(...)`

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

## sgRNA Library Design

**"Design a CRISPR library for my screen"** -> Pick a chemistry (Cas9 KO, CRISPRi, CRISPRa, Cas12a, base or prime editor), score candidate guides for on-target activity and off-target liability, position them relative to gene/TSS, add appropriate controls, lay out the oligo for synthesis, and validate the cloned pool.

- Python: `crispor.py` (web + CLI) for batch genome-wide guide scoring with CFD+MIT off-target
- Python: `azimuth` (Microsoft Research) for Rule Set 2 on-target predictions (Brunello-style)
- Python: `CRISPRon`, `DeepSpCas9` for modern deep-learning predictors

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pku-yuangroup/openai4s/bio-crispr-screens-library-design@sha256:4c5be21149aef738

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260821.2d1b678, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
