1 Installation and getting started

The crisprVerse is a collection of packages for CRISPR guide RNA (gRNA) design that can easily be installed with the crisprVerse package. This provides a convenient way of downloading and installing all crisprVerse packages with a single R command.

The package can be installed from the Bioconductor devel branch using the following commands in an R session:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install(version="devel")
BiocManager::install("crisprVerse")

The core crisprVerse includes the packages that are commonly used for gRNA design, and are attached when you attach the crisprVerse package:

library(crisprVerse)

You can check that all crisprVerse packages are up-to-date with the function crisprVerse_update().
