GUIDE-seq

Genome-Wide, Unbiased Identification of DSBs Enabled by Sequencing

GUIDE-seq (Tsai et al., 2015) relies on the integration of double-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (DSOs) into DSBs. It belongs to a family of methodsãsuch as HTGTS (Chiarle et al., 2011), LAM-HTGTS (Hu et al., 2016), and Digenome-seq (Kim et al., 2015) ãthat are aimed at detecting off-target effects of CRISPR/Cas9 and other RNA-guided nucleases (RGNs).RGN-induced DSBs are tagged by integration of blunt-ended DSOs in the genomes of living human cells. The DSO integration sites are mapped precisely in the genome at the nucleotide level with unbiased amplification and NGS.

Advantages:

  • Generates global specificity landscapes for RGNs in living human cells
  • Targeted sequencing reduces cost

Disadvantages:


Reagents:

Illumina Library prep and Array Kit Selector
