Design SpCas9 prime-editing pegRNAs for a substitution, insertion, deletion, or small replacement: for each usable NGG PAM it builds the spacer, a primer-binding-site (PBS) length sweep targeting a ~30 C melting temperature, the reverse-transcriptase template (RTT) that encodes the edit, and the full 3' extension, plus PE3 nicking-sgRNA suggestions 40-90 bp away on the opposite strand. Designs where the edit destroys the pegRNA's own PAM (preventing re-nicking of the edited allele) are ranked first. Coordinates: every pegRNA coordinate (protospacer span, nick position, editStart/editEnd) is 1-based inclusive in the submitted PRE-EDIT target's frame — the protospacer+PAM search runs on the unedited sequence, because Cas9 has to bind the allele you actually have. The one exception is edit-dependent PE3b nicking guides, which exist only once the edit is installed; each nickingGuides entry therefore carries a `coordinateFrame` field of "target" or "editedSequence" naming the frame its own start/end/nickToNickDistance are measured in, and for a length-changing edit the two frames differ downstream of the edit. Off-target activity is not evaluated (no in-browser reference genome).
