HapFlow

HapFlow visualizes haplotypes in sequencing datasets by representing variant profiles to support haplotype identification and analysis.


Key Features:

  • Python implementation: HapFlow is implemented in Python.
  • Visualization: Generates abstract visual representations of variant profiles and haplotypes.
  • Variant identification: Processes sequencing data to identify variant profiles and reads for analysis.
  • Haplotype analysis: Facilitates identification and analysis of haplotypes from genetic data.

Scientific Applications:

  • Genetic variation analysis: Enables analysis of genetic variation and assessment of implications for phenotypic traits.
  • Inheritance pattern investigation: Supports investigation of allele inheritance patterns within populations.
  • Population genetics and evolutionary studies: Aids studies in population genetics, evolutionary biology, and personalized medicine.

Methodology:

Processes sequencing data by identifying variant profiles and reads and constructs abstract visual representations of those variant profiles.
