PhiSiGns 1.2 – Indentify Signature Genes in Phages and Design Primers

PhiSiGns 1.2

:: DESCRIPTION

PhiSiGns is a web-based and standalone application that provides a simple and convenient tool to identify signature genes and design primers for PCR amplification of related genes from environmental samples. PhiSiGns is intended for phage biologists who want to find common conserved genes in phages for evolution or phylogeny based studies, or who are interested in designing primers that can be used to explore environmental phage diversity.

Aberrant 1.0 – Indentify Outliers from otherwise Guassian Distributions

Aberrant 1.0

:: DESCRIPTION

Aberrant is a R package for automatically indentiying outliers from otherwise Guassian distributions. It is designed for excluding samples from genome-wide association studies which have summary statistics of variation which differ from the sample at large.
