BEscreen: a versatile toolkit to design base editing libraries

Base editing enables the high-throughput screening of genetic variants for phenotypic effects. Base editing screens require the design of single guide RNA (sgRNA) libraries to enable either gene- or variant-centric approaches. While computational tools supporting the design of sgRNAs exist, no solut...

520 |a Base editing enables the high-throughput screening of genetic variants for phenotypic effects. Base editing screens require the design of single guide RNA (sgRNA) libraries to enable either gene- or variant-centric approaches. While computational tools supporting the design of sgRNAs exist, no solution offers versatile and scalable library design enabling all major use cases. Here, we introduce BEscreen, a comprehensive base editing guide design tool provided as a web server (bescreen.ostendorflab.org) and as a command line tool. BEscreen provides variant-, gene-, and region-centric modes to accommodate various screening approaches. The variant mode accepts genomic coordinates, amino acid changes, or rsIDs as input. The gene mode designs near-saturation libraries covering the entire coding sequence of given genes or transcripts, and the region mode designs all possible guides for given genomic regions. BEscreen enables selection of guides by biological consequence, it features comprehensive customization of base editor characteristics, and it offers optional annotation using Ensembl’s Variant Effect Predictor. In sum, BEscreen is a highly versatile tool to design base editing screens for a wide range of use cases with seamless scalability from individual variants to large, near-saturation libraries.
