This is the Windows app named Protospacer Workbench whose latest release can be downloaded as Protospacer_Workbench.MacOSX.64bit.tar.gz. It can be run online in the free hosting provider OnWorks for workstations.
Download and run online this app named Protospacer Workbench with OnWorks for free.
Follow these instructions in order to run this app:
- 1. Downloaded this application in your PC.
- 2. Enter in our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 3. Upload this application in such filemanager.
- 4. Start any OS OnWorks online emulator from this website, but better Windows online emulator.
- 5. From the OnWorks Windows OS you have just started, goto our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 6. Download the application and install it.
- 7. Download Wine from your Linux distributions software repositories. Once installed, you can then double-click the app to run them with Wine. You can also try PlayOnLinux, a fancy interface over Wine that will help you install popular Windows programs and games.
Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.

Protospacer Workbench
DESCRIPTION
Protospacer Workbench helps to design, analyze, and share CRISPR target-sites for any organism or set of FASTA formatted sequences.Design of guide-RNAs for the CRISPR/Cas genome editing system is intuitively easy, but computationally difficult. The main difficulty arises from the need to identify potential off-targets that may be quite different from the intended target. Current online tools for guide-RNA design provide a user friendly interface to sequence mapping software such as Bowtie or BLAST. However, while fast, these mapping algorithms were not designed with a high tolerance to error, a feature critical to determining potential off-targets. Where online tools fail, offline tools succeed. However, offline tools require knowledge of the command line which few, who employ CRISPR, have. Protospacer Workbench aims to bridge the gap between online and offline guide-RNA design. The software is currently available for OS X and will be ported to other operating systems soon.
