In the rapidly advancing landscape of CRISPR-Cas technologies, the intricate factors governing the design of effective guide RNAs (gRNAs) cannot be underestimated. The optimal selection of gRNAs involves a delicate balance of guide length, location, GC content, proximity of PAM to the cleavage site, consideration of structural motifs, and a keen focus on minimizing off-target effects while maximizing on-target efficiency.
