...guides as negative controls. Non-targeting guides do not target any site in the genome. This means that...confound the results of high-throughput CRISPR screens.
Do short guides (17-18 bp) have less off-target cutting...have fewer off-target effects than long guides, and do not have a major reduction in on-target efficacy....
