CRISPRme v2.1.6 Release Notes
Description
This release introduces version 2.1.6 of CRISPRme, bringing significant updates, new features, and critical bug fixes. This version is designed to improve the performance and accuracy of off-target predictions and enhance the user experience in the CRISPRme ecosystem.
Key Features and Changes
🚀 New Features
- Support for GNOMAD v4.1 VCFs (joint VCFs included): CRISPRme now supports GNOMAD v4.1 datasets, including joint variant files, enabling more comprehensive analyses.
