Base editors enable direct conversion of one target base into another in a programmable manner, but conversion efficiencies vary dramatically among different targets. Here, we performed a high-throughput gRNA-target library screening to measure conversion efficiencies and outcome product frequencies at integrated genomic targets and obtained datasets of 60,615 and 73,303 targets for ABE and CBE, respectively. We used the datasets to train deep learning models, resulting in ABEdeepon and CBEdeepon which can predict on-target efficiencies and outcome sequence frequencies. The software is freely accessible via online web server http://www.deephf.com/#/bedeep/bedeepon.

"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.
