Tool Overview - GenomicsCoreLeuven/GBSX GitHub Wiki

Overview

Genotyping by Sequencing is an emerging technology for cost effective variant discovery and genotyping. However, current analysis tools do not fulfill all experimental design and analysis needs.

GBSX is a package of tools to first aid in experimental design, including choice of enzymes and barcode design. Secondly, it provides a first analysis step to demultiplex samples using in-line barcodes, providing fastq files that can easily be plugged into existing variant analysis pipelines.

Download

The perl script for in silico digests and the compiled program for all other analyses can be found in the releases directory. The latest directory has the latest version. However, previous versions are still available. The complete source code can be found in the src directory. Example data and results for the tool can be found in the example directory.
