Digenome-sequencing

Genome-wide profiling of off-target effects.


Digenome-seq is an in vitro nuclease-digested whole-genome sequencing to profile genome-wide nuclease off-target effects in cells. This in vitro digest yields sequence reads with the same 5' ends at cleavage sites that can be computationally identified by Digenome-seq program. Thanks to Emscripten, this web version of Digenome-seq program completely runs on the client-side so that large amounts of sequencing data do not need to be uploaded to the server.



Please input your data in below form, or you can download a standalone version of this tool here. Also you can try this tool with an example data. Please check example protocol of Digenome-seq experiment in help page.



Sequencing Data

Please select a nuclease-treated and a control BAM file (which contains mapped reads against reference genome). The BAM files need to be coordinate-sorted.

Nuclease-treated BAM file



Control BAM file (optional) [?]



Reference genome (retrieved from Ensembl):


Nuclease Information

Cleavage type


e.g.) Cas9: blunt end, AsCpf1, LbCpf1: 3 overhang (5'), FnCpf1: 5 overhang (5'), ZFN: 4 overhang (5'), TALEN: 6 overhang (5')


Target sequence(s), one sequence per line (optional, 5' to 3'):
