About
CHOPCHOP (version 3) is a web tool for selecting target sites for CRISPR/Cas9, CRISPR/Cpf1, CRISPR/Cas13 or NICKASE/TALEN-directed mutagenesis.
CHOPCHOP can be run with as few as three basic input options, or with additional advanced parameters. The basic input comprises:
- a gene name, genomic coordinates or a pasted sequence (including RefSeq and ENSEMBL gene IDs),
- a growing list of organisms,
- the choice between CRISPR/Cas9, CRISPR/Cas9 Nickase, CRISPR/Cpf1 or TALEN mode.
The advanced options provide the user with more flexibility when choosing target sites.If you would like to run CHOPCHOP locally, you can download the command-line version of the tool here: https://bitbucket.org/valenlab/chopchop/src/master/
