CRISPRcleanRWebApp: an interactive web application for processing genome-wide pooled CRISPR-Cas9 viability screens
biorxiv(2022)
摘要
A limitation of pooled CRISPR-Cas9 viability screens is the high false-positive rate in detecting essential genes arising from copy number-amplified (CNA) regions of the genome. To solve this issue, we developed CRISPRcleanR : a computational method implemented as R/python package and in a dockerized version. CRISPRcleanR detects and corrects biased responses to CRISPR-Cas9 targeting in an unsupervised fashion, accurately reducing false-positive signals, while maintaining sensitivity in identifying relevant genetic dependencies. Here, we present CRISPRcleanR WebApp , a web-based application enabling access to CRISPRcleanR through an intuitive graphical web-interface. CRISPRcleanRWebApp removes the complexity of low-level R/python-language user interactions; it provides a user-friendly access to a complete analytical pipeline, not requiring any data pre-processing, and generating gene-level summaries of essentiality with associated statistical scores; it offers a range of interactively explorable plots, while supporting a wider range of CRISPR guide RNAs’ libraries with respect to the original package. CRISPRcleanRWebApp is freely available at: .
