Systems and methods for use in identifying multiple genome edits and predicting the aggregate effects of the identified genome edits

摘要

Exemplary systems and methods for selecting from population of candidate edits and predicting an aggregate effect of the candidate edits are disclosed. One exemplary method includes identifying a population of candidate edits to a genomic sequence of said organism and ranking each of the candidate edits based on a predicted ability of each candidate edit to affect a trait of interest in said organism. The exemplary method further includes selecting one or more of the candidate edits based on the ranking and predicting, by the computing device, an aggregate effect of the selected one or more of the candidate edits for the trait of interest when expressed by a specimen of the organism having a genomic sequence and edited according to the selected one or more of the candidate edits, as compared to an unedited specimen of the organism.
