RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 poRe: an R package for the visualization and analysis of nanopore sequencing data JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 007567 DO 10.1101/007567 A1 Mick Watson A1 Marian Thomson A1 Judith Risse A1 Richard Talbot A1 Javier Santoyo-Lopez A1 Karim Gharbi A1 Mark Blaxter YR 2014 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2014/07/29/007567.abstract AB Motivation The Oxford Nanopore MinION device represents a unique sequencing technology. As a mobile sequencing device powered by the USB port of a laptop, the MinION has huge potential applications. To enable these applications, the bioinformatics community will need to design and build a suite of tools specifically for MinION data.Results Here we present poRe, a package for the statistical software R that enables users to manipulate, organize, summarise and visualize MinION nanopore sequencing data. As a packge for R, poRe has been tested on both Windows and Linux. Crucially, the Windows version allows users to analyse MinION data on the Windows laptop attached to the deviceAvailability Pre-built R packages for Windows and Linux are available under a BSD license at http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpore/Contact mick.watson{at}roslin.ed.ac.uk
