  1. 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.
