In vivo high-throughput profiling of CRISPR-Cpf1 activity

TL;DR: This work developed a method for evaluating Cpf1 activity, based on target sequence composition in mammalian cells, in a high-throughput manner, and defined target-sequence-dependent activity profiles of AsCpf 1, which enabled the development of a web tool that predicts the indel frequencies for given target sequences.
