Hit scores

ParameterSpec. Score cut-offColourComment
Hit to same geneColourHits to the same accession or genes with 100 percent identity (i.e. likely transcript variants). It is advisable to always check the genes hit.
High scoring hit≥80ColourHits are very likely to cause an off-target effect
Medium scoring hit<80¸≥40ColourHits with a small chance of causing an off target effect.
Low scoring hitColourHits very unlikely to cause an off-target effect

The mismatches are colour coded based on the weighting of that position.
