What is Off-Target Effects?
CRISPR/Cas9 technology has accelerated the understanding of functional organization of genome at the systems level and thus helps to establish solid sequential links between genetic variations and biological phenotypes. However, off-target mutations are observed at frequencies higher than the intended mutations, which may increase genomic instability and disrupt the functionality of other genes. Therefore, we need to improve CRISPR/Cas9 specificity and reduce undesired mutagenesis, which is crucial for their future applications in gene therapy.

What is the Application of Off-Target Analysis?
- Quantify off-target effects of established targets (sgRNAs): Researchers can assess and measure the frequency and impact of unintended genetic modifications that occur at sites other than the intended target.
- Screen for targets with the highest cleavage efficiency and lowest off-target effects: Researchers employ a combination of bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation. They can improve the precision and accuracy of their genome editing experiments, enhancing the success and reliability of the desired genetic modifications.
- Identification and optimization of off-target effects and cleavage properties of novel CRISPR: By conducting the identification of off-target effects and evaluating the cleavage properties of a novel CRISPR system, researchers can gain insights into its specificityand accuracy. This information is crucial for understanding the safety and efficiency of the CRISPR system.
