BactEXTRACT: an R Shiny app to quickly extract, plot and analyse bacterial growth and gene expression data

To streamline the analysis and visualization of bacterial growth and gene expression data obtained by microtitre plate readers, we developed BactEXTRACT, an intuitive, easy-to-use R Shiny application. BactEXTRACT simplifies the transition from raw optical density, fluorescence and luminescence measurements to publication-ready plots. This package offers a user-friendly interface that reduces the complexity involved in growth curve and gene expression analysis and is generally applicable. BactEXTRACT is available at https://veeninglab.com/bactextract.
