FCSalyzer: flow cytometry analysis
Posted: 2017-01-29 Filed under: academic | Tags: FACS, flow cytometry, flow cytometry on Linux, offline analysis 4 CommentsI came across a free, cross-platform, flow cytometry analysis program, called FCSalyzer. Its author is Dr. Sven Mostböck and the program is under active development. I gave it a try and I should say, it is really promising. Although still in alpha stage of development, it provides all the basic functionality one would expect from a flow cytometry analysis software.

It is available at SBo and is particularly useful if you want to create visually appealing phylogenetic trees, to be used for publication figures or presentation slides. One thing that I do not like is that by default, the program has black interface and black background. Read the rest of this entry »

Geneconv: detect gene conversion
Posted: 2016-07-04 Filed under: academic | Tags: conversion, DNA, gene, GENECONV, msa, sequence 3 CommentsGeneconv is a program for detecting gene conversion between aligned DNA sequences. It can also search for gene conversion fragments from outside the alignment. The output results are ranked by P-values and presented in a spreadsheet manner. The data are valuable for bioinformatics studies and papers that deal with evolution.
