Find CRISPRs

» Search by gene
To find CRISPRs within a gene, enter the gene symbol, select tracks of interest, then click the 'Submit' button.

» Search by sequence
If you have a sequence and want to find nearby CRISPRs, enter the sequence into the textbox to BLAST it before viewing it on JBrowse. If the sequence is a significant hit, it will show as a highlight.


Both search functions will take you to a summary page with a table and embedded JBrowse view. If you want to zoom in or shift the location on the genome, click on "Full-screen view".
