Illuminus – Genotype Calling algorithm

Illuminus

:: DESCRIPTION

Illuminus is a program that calls genotype from the Illumina BeadArray platform which does not rely on having prior training data or require computationally intensive procedures. The algorithm can assign genotypes to hybridization data from thousands of individuals simultaneously and pools information across multiple individuals to improve the calling. The method can accommodate variations in hybridization intensities which result in dramatic shifts of the position of the genotype clouds by identifying the optimal coordinates to initialize the algorithm.
