Overview

Overview and application of CRISPR-COPIES in the field of biotechnology.

COmputational Pipeline for the Identification of CRISPR/Cas-facilitated intEgration Sites (CRISPR-COPIES) is a user-friendly web application and a command line tool for rapid discovery of neutral integration sites. Designed to work for any organism with a genome in NCBI and for any CRISPR system, CRISPR-COPIES can identify neutral sites in a genome-wide manner. The identified sites can be used for characterization of synthetic biology toolkits, rapid strain construction to produce valuable biochemicals, and human gene and cell therapy.
