Software

A public repository for many of our tools and scripts can be found on Github.

hpgltools a collection of R functions to aid in host-pathogen genomic research
gene-structure-analysis visualization and descriptive statistics of Trypanosome gene structure using RNA-Seq data
eupathdb-organismdb scripts to help automate the process of generator Bioconductor OrgDb, TranscriptDb, and OrganismDb packages for species hosted on EuPathDB
ptu-detection a simple script for detecting polycistronic transcriptional units (PTUs) in trypanosomatid genomes
utr_analysis pipeline for determining the 5'UTR spliced leader and 3'UTR poly-A acceptor sites in a collection of RNA-Seq reads
