Webtool to design guide RNA (gRNA) for use with CRISPR-AsCpf1?

Question

My goals are to use a free webtool to:

1. Identify guide RNAs (direct-repeat sequence followed by the targeting sequence) appropriate for use with AsCpf1 in order to target a specific segment of genomic DNA.
2. Estimate efficiency and specificity of using the guide RNAs identified by the tool.

Unfortunately, when I tried to do this using the CRISPOR tool, the "Job Status" never advanced past the "Waiting" stage, even after 10 minutes. Attached is a screenshot to show what I see.

Specifically, I used the following settings in my query:

I named my sequence:

Mm Acaca block2 from BLAT alignment

In "Step 1" I submitted this sequence:

In "Step 2" I selected:

Mus musculus- Mouse- UCSC Dec. 2011 (GRCm38/mm10)...

In "Step 3" I selected:

TTTN-23bp - Cpf1 Acidaminococcus / Lachnospiracea

My questions are as follows:

1. Should I do anything differently to use the CRISPOR tool for my goals?
2. Are there other free webtools available for me to achieve the goals I outlined above?

_{UPDATE: I emailed the folks at CRISPOR, and they informed me the site had been down, but they have since restarted it. Hopefully, their restart is sufficient, but I will leave my question up with the hopes that others can point me to more webtools.}

Answer 1

Most online tools will only help you to design gRNAs for Cas9 because it is the one that is most commonly used. I found an online suite called RGEN tools that also has an option for AsCpf1.

However, if you don't find it satisfactory then my suggestion is that you either design your gRNA manually or write your own script (which won't be that complex).
