Bioinformatics Tools

Over the past few years, we have developed bioinformatic tools to analyze next-generation sequencing data. Below is a sampling of some of these tools:

VADT This program has been developed in our laboratory to streamline the entire allelic expression (AE) analysis process into one self-contained user-friendly program.

FastqBLAST This program takes a sample of sequences from a fastq file, trims the low quality ends, BLASTs them, fetches additional info from NCBI, and produces a tabular report.
