Abstract Background The CRISPR/Cas systems have emerged as powerful tools in genome engineering. Recent studies highlighting the crucial role of transposable elements (TEs) have stimulated research interest in manipulating these elements to understand their functions. However, designing single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) that are specific and efficient for TE manipulation is a significant challenge, given their sequence repetitiveness and high copy numbers. While various sgRNA design tools have been developed for gene editing, an optimized sgRNA designer for TE manipulation has yet to be established. Results We present CRISPR-TE, a web-based application featuring an accessible graphical user interface, available at https://www.crisprte.cn/ , and currently tailored to the human and mouse genomes. CRISPR-TE identifies all potential sgRNAs for TEs and provides a comprehensive solution for efficient TE targeting at both the single copy and subfamily levels. Our analysis shows that sgRNAs targeting TEs can more effectively target evolutionarily young TEs with conserved sequences at the subfamily level. Conclusions CRISPR-TE offers a versatile framework for designing sgRNAs for TE targeting. CRISPR-TE is publicly accessible at https://www.crisprte.cn/ as an online web service and the source code of CRISPR-TE is available at https://github.com/WanluLiuLab/CRISPRTE/ . |
