nQuire: a statistical framework for ploidy estimation using next generation sequencing
nQuire provides a statistical framework to study organisms with intraspecific variation in ploidy. nQuire is likely to be useful in epidemiological studies of pathogens, artificial selection experiments, and for historical or ancient samples where intact nuclei are not preserved. It is implemente...Tags: nQuire, statistical, framework, ploidy, estimation, next, generation, sequencing, NGS

nQuire: A statistical framework for ploidy estimation using NGS short-read data
nQuire implements a set of commands to estimate ploidy level of individuals from species, where recent polyploidization occurred and intraspecific ploidy variation is observed. Specifically, nQuire uses next-generation sequencing data to distinguish between diploids, triploids and tetraploids, on...Tags: statistical, framework, ploidy, estimation, NGS, short-read, data

Smudgeplot: Inference of ploidy and heterozygosity structure using whole genome sequencing data
This tool extracts heterozygous kmer pairs from kmer count databases and performs gymnastics with them. We are able to disentangle genome structure by comparing the sum of kmer pair coverages (CovA + CovB) to their relative coverage (CovB / (CovA + CovB)). Such an approach also allows us to analy...Tags: Smudgeplot, Inference, ploidy, heterozygosity, structure, whole, genome, sequencing, data
