Popis: Cas9 off-target sites can be predicted by many bioinformatics tools. Here the authors present low complexity mechanistic model that characterizes SpCas9 kinetics in free-energy terms, allowing quantitative prediction of off-target activity in bulk-biochemistry, single molecule, and whole-genome profiling experiments.
