sgcount is a fast and flexible sgRNA counter for CRISPR screens.
This was developed to be a simple yet powerful tool to take raw sequencing files to count tables. This will be the preprocessing step for CRISPRBrain and will eventually be available to perform analysis directly from the browser - but is available here as a standalone tool for those who would prefer local analysis.
sgcount was designed to be a single, easy, and fast interface for researchers who just want to get the results of their CRISPR screen.

No wasted time fiddling with conda environments - sgcount is written in rust and is backed by its powerful package manager cargo.
cargo install sgcountOne line installation can be found in the install instructions.
