    Abstract We present GuideScan2 for memory-efficient, parallelizable construction of high-specificity CRISPR guide RNA (gRNA) databases and user-friendly design and analysis of individual gRNAs and gRNA libraries for targeting coding and non-coding regions in custom genomes. GuideScan2 analysis identifies widespread confounding effects of low-specificity gRNAs in published CRISPR screens and enables construction of a gRNA library that reduces off-target effects in a gene essentiality screen. GuideScan2 also enables the design and experimental validation of allele-specific gRNAs in a hybrid mouse genome. GuideScan2 will facilitate CRISPR experiments across a wide range of applications.

    Abstract The semiconductor tracker (SCT) is one of the tracking systems for charged particles in the ATLAS detector. It consists of 4088 silicon strip sensor modules.During Run 2 (2015–2018) the Large Hadron Collider delivered an integrated luminosity of 156 fb -1 to the ATLAS experiment at a centre-of-mass proton-proton collision energy of 13 TeV. The instantaneous luminosity and pile-up conditions were far in excess of those assumed in the original design of the SCT detector.Due to improvements to the data acquisition system, the SCT operated stably throughout Run 2.It was available for 99.9% of the integrated luminosity and achieved a data-quality efficiency of 99.85%.Detailed studies have been made of the leakage current in SCT modules and the evolution of the full depletion voltage, which are used to study the impact of radiation damage to the modules.
