MINORg is an offline gRNA design tool that generates the smallest possible combination of gRNA capable of covering all desired targets in multiple non-reference genomes. As interest in pangenomic research grows, so does the workload required for large screens in multiple individuals. MINORg aims to lessen this workload by capitalising on sequence homology to favour multi-target gRNA while simultaneously screening multiple genetic backgrounds in order to generate reusable gRNA panels. We demonstrated the practical application of MINORg by knocking out a 11 homologous genes tandemly arrayed in a multigene cluster in two Arabidopsis thaliana lineages using three gRNA output by MINORg.
