VARSCOT: variant-aware detection and scoring enables sensitive and personalized off-target detection for CRISPR-Cas9

Abstract Background Natural variations in a genome can drastically alter the CRISPR-Cas9 off-target landscape by creating or removing sites. Despite the resulting potential side-effects from such unaccounted for sites, current off-target detection pipelines are not equipped to include variant inform...
