Base editors, including adenine base editors (ABEs) and cytosine base editors (CBEs), are valuable tools for introducing point mutations, but they frequently induce unwanted off-target mutations. Here, we performed a high-throughput gRNA-target library screening to measure editing efficiencies at integrated genomic off-targets and obtained datasets of 48,632 and 52,429 off-targets for ABE and CBE, respectively. We used the datasets to train deep learning models, resulting in ABEdeepoff and CBEdeepoff which can predict editing efficiencies at off-targets. These tools are freely accessible via online web server http://www.deephf.com/#/bedeep.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
