crisprBase: Base functions and classes for CRISPR gRNA design

Provides S4 classes for general nucleases, CRISPR nucleases, CRISPR nickases, and base editors.Several CRISPR-specific genome arithmetic functions are implemented to help extract genomic coordinates of spacer and protospacer sequences. Commonly-used CRISPR nuclease objects are provided that can be readily used in other packages. Both DNA- and RNA-targeting nucleases are supported.
