Welcome to LeishGEdit, LeishBASEedit and LeishBASEeditDB

Your online resource for CRISPR gene editing in kinetoplastids

Using the LeishGEdit online tool you can retrieve primers for CRISPR Cas9 gene editing in a range of kinetoplastids (following our method published in Beneke, Madden et al., R Soc Open Sci 2017, Beneke et al., PLoS Pathogens 2019, Beneke and Gluenz, MMB 2020 and Beneke and Gluenz, MBP 2020).

Using our new LeishBASEedit online tool you can retrieve primers for CRISPR Cas9 cytosine base editing in a range of kinetoplastids (following our method published in Engstler and Beneke, eLife 2023 and Herrmann May et al., eLife 2025).

Using our new LeishBASEeditDB online tool you can view our CRISPR cytosine base editing screening data (as published in Arias et al., BioRxiv 2025).
