I am relatively new to GUIDEseq analysis, and was wondering how to handle multiple biological replicates. Currently, I have 3 biological replicates of a sample and they are differentiated by the P5 index. For every biological replicate, there are 8 libraries (P7 index is different), 4 for + strand and 4 for the - strand. How should I analyze my data so that I have one output file with off targets for my particular gRNA? It seems like GUIDEseAnalysis only takes two files at a time.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Aamir, Yes. You can analyze multiple replicates together by specifying alignment.inputfile = c(replicate1.bam, replicate2.bam, replicate3.bam), umi.inputfile = c(replicate1.umi.txt, replicate2.bam.umi.txt, replicate3.umi.txt) in GUIDEseqAnalysis<https: rdrr.io="" bioc="" guideseq="" man="" guideseqanalysis.html="">, then follow the Example 5 at https://bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12864-017-3746-y For technical replicates, I recommend merge the fastq files and treat it as a single experiment.

I was able to find off-targets for my samples. However, when I try to remove the peaks shared with the control sample, I keep getting an error message: "Error in fix.by(by.y, y) : 'by' must specify uniquely valid columns"

My code looks like this:
offtargetfolder <- c("NTS42-output/", "neg-NTS42-output/")
offtargets.hotspots.removed <- combineOfftargets(offtarget.folder = offtargetfolder,
sample.name = c("NTS42", "Cas9-only"),
control.sample.name = "Cas9-only",
outputFileName = "NTS42-offtarget-hotspots-removed.xls")

Do I have rename the columns in the output that I get from GuideseqAnalysis function?

Aamir, You should not need to rename the column or the output file.
