Projects
MOIRE (Multiplicity of Infection and Allele Frequency Recovery from Noisy Polyalleleic Data)
A Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based approach to Bayesian estimation of individual level multiplicity of infection, within host relatedness, and population allele frequencies from polyallelic genetic data.
MicroSPAT (Microsatellite Parameterized Analysis Tools)
A GUI for semi-automated analysis of raw capillary electrophoresis (CE) data output by the ABI 3730, designed specifically for working with multi-allelic samples. Developed to improve speed, reproducibility and consistency of microsatellite analysis between analysts. No longer actively developed.
sampleDB
A GUI application for managing biological sample tracking that use Micronics or similar sample barcoding systems. Superceded by newer generation SampleDB, but still in use by some labs.
