SmallGenomeTools

SmallGenomeTools provides processing, analysis, and curation of DNA sequence data for genome-agnostic studies and specialized hepatitis B virus (HBV) research, supporting Sanger sequencing, ultra-deep amplicon resequencing (pyrosequencing), and chromatograph trace file inputs.

Key Features:

• Genome-agnostic tools: Analytical tools applicable to a wide range of genomic datasets and organisms.
• HBV-specific tools: Includes two specialized tools for hepatitis B virus (HBV) sequence data analysis.
• Sequencing technology support: Processes Sanger sequencing, ultra-deep amplicon resequencing (pyrosequencing), and chromatograph trace files.
• Sequence processing and curation: Performs processing, analysis, and curation of DNA sequence data from raw inputs to refined outputs.

Scientific Applications:

• Comparative genomics: Enables comparison of DNA sequences across samples and organisms.
• Evolutionary studies: Supports analyses for evolutionary inference using sequence data.
• Pathogen surveillance: Facilitates detection and monitoring of pathogens from sequence datasets.
• Viral genetics (HBV): Supports mutation detection and analyses specific to hepatitis B virus genetics.
• Phylogenetic analyses: Supports construction and interpretation of phylogenetic relationships from sequence data.
• Epidemiological tracking: Enables tracking of sequence-derived epidemiological signals for outbreak and transmission studies.

Methodology:

Integrates bioinformatic processing steps from raw data input to refined sequence analysis outputs.
