TagDust -- Artifactual Sequence Identifier
What you can do:
Use to eliminate false discoveries from nucleotide parallel sequence technologies.
Highlights:
- TagDust is a program that identifies artifactual sequences in large sequencing runs.
- Next-generation parallel sequencing technologies produce large quantities of short sequence reads.
- Due to experimental procedures various types of artifacts are commonly sequenced alongside the targeted RNA or DNA sequences.
- Identification of such artifacts is important during the development of novel sequencing assays and for the downstream analysis of the sequenced libraries.
- Given a user-defined cutoff for the false discovery rate, TagDust identifies all reads explainable by combinations and partial matches to known sequences used during library preparation.
