Summary:
In the era of next generation sequencing and beyond, the Sanger technique is still widely used for variant verification of inconclusive or ambiguous high-throughput sequencing results or as a low-cost molecular genetical analysis tool for single targets in many fields of study. Many analysis steps need time-consuming manual intervention. Therefore, we present here a pipeline-capable high-throughput solution with an optional Shiny web interface, that provides a binary mutation decision of hotspots together with plotted chromatograms including annotations via flat files.
Availability And Implementation:
SangeR is freely available at https://github.com/Neuropathology-Giessen/SangeR and https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/kaischmid/sange_r.
