Abstract

We present multiplex Digenome-seq to profile genome-wide specificities of up to 11 CRISPR-Cas9 nucleases simultaneously, saving time and reducing cost. Cell-free human genomic DNA was digested using multiple sgRNAs combined with the Cas9 protein and then subjected to whole-genome sequencing. In vitro cleavage patterns, characteristic of on- and off-target sites, were computationally identified across the genome using a new DNA cleavage scoring system. We found that many false-positive, bulge-type off-target sites were cleaved by sgRNAs transcribed from an oligonucleotide duplex but not by those transcribed from a plasmid template. Multiplex Digenome-seq captured many bona fide off-target sites, missed by other genome-wide methods, at which indels were induced at frequencies <0.1%. After analyzing 964 sites cleaved in vitro by these sgRNAs and measuring indel frequencies at hundreds of off-target sites in cells, we propose a guideline for the choice of target sites for minimizing CRISPR-Cas9 off-target effects in the human genome.

Human genomic DNA (red) or RGEN-digested genomic DNA (green) was subjected to whole-genome sequencing. The few false-positive sites found in intact genomic DNA are not visible because their cleavage scores are not high.

Figure 4. Indel frequencies determined using targeted deep sequencing at off-target sites. (A) Schematic of conventional sgRNAs (GX19 sgRNA) and modified sgRNAs (ggX20 sgRNA). Indel frequencies at NGS-validated on- and off-target sites for the EMX1 (B), HEK293-3 (C), and RNF2 sgRNAs (D). Specificity ratios calculated by dividing the indel frequency at the on-target site with that at an off-target site for the EMX1 (E), HEK293-3 (F), and RNF2 sgRNAs (G).CC BY-NC · PubMed Central

Plots of relative indel frequencies (log scale) at off-target sites harboring the number of mismatches indicated in the entire 20-nt sequence (A) or the 10-nt seed sequence (B,C). NGS-tested sites (A) were divided into two groups: validated sites (B) and invalidated sites (C).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
