GenomeComb



Genomecomb moved to github on https://github.com/derijkp/genomecomb with documentation on https://derijkp.github.io/genomecomb. For up to date versions, go there. These pages only remain here for the data on the older scientific application (or if someone really needs a long obsolete version of the software)

Synopsis

Genomecomb is a package designed for the analysis of complete genome data. It can be used to compare, annotate and especially filter the results of complete genome sequencing.

Main features

In addition to providing installation directives, extensive documentation, we also provide a shortlist of common "protocols" used to analyse whole genome sequencing data. A short list of analyses that can be performed using GenomeComb is given below:

Scientific applications

We have used GenomeComb to analyse the whole genome sequences of monozygotic twin genomes, tumor-normal genomes and publicly available HapMap genomes. A publication has about this study appearedin Nature Biotch:
