The efficiency of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated protein knockout is determined by three factors: sequence-specific sgRNA activity, frameshift probability and the characteristics of targeted amino acids. A number of computational methods have been developed for predicting sgRNA efficiency from different perspectives. However, an integrative method that combines all three factors for rational sgRNA selection is still lacking.
