Click here to try out EditR!

EditR is an algorithm for predicting potential editing in a guide RNA region from a single Sanger sequencing run. This allows users to estimate base editing efficiency quicker and cheaper than using deep sequencing.

It consists of the algorithm implemented in the R statistical programming language and provided as a Shiny app built to make this algorithm easy to use.

Using the Shiny App

You can use the R Shiny App in two ways: through and instance on shinyapps.io, or installing it locally on your computer. We recommend testing it out on shinyapps.io, and then installing it locally to do a lot of analysis with.

Installing EditR locally

1. Install R and R Studio (desktop version)
2. Download code from github repository, and unzip into a directory you want to work from
3. Open R Studio and run the code in dependencies.R to install the packages required
4. In R Studio, open server.R, and click the run app button
5. EditR should be started in your default web browser
