PolyPhred

PolyPhred compares fluorescence-based sequences across traces obtained from different individuals to identify heterozygous sites for single nucleotide substitutions. PolyPhred functions are integrated with Phred, Phrap, and Consed, and is not a stand alone application. PolyPhred identifies potential heterozygotes using the base-calls, base-call qualities and peak sizes provided by Phred and the sequence alignments provided by Phrap. Potential heterozygotes identified by PolyPhred are tagged (color-coded) for rapid inspection using the Consed tool. For more information, visit the PolyPhred homepage.

PolyPhred is available as a site license in an executable format (Linux, SGI-IRIX, Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX Mac-OSX, AIX and DEC-Alpha). PolyPhred operation requires Phred, Phrap and Consed software. You will need to license Phred, Phrap, and Consed before obtaining PolyPhred.
