CRISPRDetect help

(last update of help was on 1/3/2021 by CMB)

17 7 2019. CRISPRDetect version 2.4 (download)https://github.com/davidchyou/CRISPRDetect_2.4

Version 2.4 has some bug fixes (compared to 2.2) , update to the CRISPRDirection (v2) module, and extends the CRISPR I-E identification of repeats. The array score is nowalso in the gff3 file. The gff3 file and txt files can be downloaded directly from the web output. The web interface uses a similar version with additions for the web inferface.

7 5 2018. Updated CRISPRDirection module with an increase in accuracy for Type II direction calls. Modified to handle gbff files (e.g. GCF or GCA) and cas gene annotations in these.

6 5 2016. CRISPRDetect is a tool to discover and explore the CRISPR non coding RNAs in sequence data. It is a bioinformatic tool to find CRISPR arrays. It is part of CRISPRSuite. The final submission version of CRISPRDetect v2.2 is described and available here. All earlier released presubmision '1' or 2.0 versions were testing versions and may have minor bugs.

News about CRISPRSuite is here:

For enquiries contact chris.brown at otago.ac.nz

10/8/2016 v2.2 Minor fixes. Changed gff3 output to prevent warning messages on gff3 validation (e.g. Artemis). As spacer is not\ valid in the GO ontology used 'binding_site' instead as a label- the spacer is a nucleic acid binding site.
1/6/2016 v2.1 The final submission version of CRISPRDetect v2.1 is described and available here. All earlier released presubmision '1' or 2.0 versions were testing versions and may have minor bugs, please update to 2.1 or later.
