Chopchop is a web tool used for identifying CRISPR-Cas single guide RNA (sgRNA) targets. It includes functionality for targeting RNA with Cas13, with support for alternative transcript isoforms and RNA accessibility predictions. Users can select the target (gene ID, chromosome coordinates or pasted sequence), organism, and CRISPR mode (e.g. Cas9 knockout) to run the tool. "Chop-chop" is also a phrase meaning "hurry," and it originates from interaction between Cantonese and English people in British-occupied south China. Chopchop is also the name of a family-friendly publication filled with recipes, how-tos, fun food facts, and interactive games. Chop Chop Rice Co. is a fast-casual Asian restaurant chain.
