Prime editing is a powerful genome editing technology, but its efficiency varies depending on the pegRNA design and target locus. Existing computational models for predicting prime editing rates are limited by their focus on specific edit types and by omitting the local chromatin environment. In our study, we developed machine learning models that predict prime editing efficiencies across a wide range of edit types up to 15 bp (PRIDICT2.0) and in different chromatin contexts (ePRIDICT). Both models can be accessed at www.pridict.it.

Matching journals

The top 4 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

"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.
