R453Plus1Toolbox: an R/Bioconductor package for analyzing Roche 454 Sequencing data

摘要

The R453Plus1Toolbox is an R/Bioconductor package for the analysis of 454 Sequencing data. Projects generated with Roche's data analysis software can be imported into R allowing advanced and customized analyses within the R/Bioconductor environment for sequencing data. Several methods were implemented extending the current functionality of Roche's software. These extensions include methods for quality assurance and annotation of detected variants. Further, a pipeline for the detection of structural variants, e. g. balanced chromosomal translocations, is provided.
