ProTiler is a novel computational method for fine-mapping of protein regions that are
hyper-sensitive to CRISPR/Cas9 mediated gene knockouts(CKHS region) from high-throughput
tiling-sgRNA functional screens.
Also, ProTiler is able to predict CKHS regions for protein encoded by any given gene from
other common protein features including conservation, domain annotation, secondary structures
and PTMs distribution.
If you use ProTiler please cite the following paper we published on Nature Communications:
He et al. De novo identification of essential protein domains from CRISPR-Cas9 tiling-sgRNA
knockout screens. Nat Commun 10, 4547(2019).
