RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 ploidyNGS: Visually exploring ploidy with Next Generation Sequencing data JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 086488 DO 10.1101/086488 A1 Renato Augusto Corrêa dos Santos A1 Gustavo Henrique Goldman A1 Diego Mauricio Riaño-Pachón YR 2016 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/11/08/086488.abstract AB Summary ploidyNGS is a model-free, open source tool to visualize and explore ploidy levels in a newly sequenced genome, exploiting short read data. We tested ploidyNGS using both simulated and real NGS data of the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. ploidyNGS allows the identification of the ploidy level of a newly sequenced genome in a visual way.Availability and implementation ploidyNGS is available under the GNU General Public License (GPL) at https://github.com/diriano/ploidyNGS. ploidyNGS is implemented in Python and R.Contact diego.riano@bioetanol.org.br
