THOR

THOR, the Targeted High-throughput Ortholog Reconstructor, is a Java application designed to assemble target genomic sequence orthologs in low-coverage genomes.

Project Description

The Targeted High-throughput Ortholog Reconstructor (THOR) leverages the large amount of low-coverage whole–genome shotgun sequence read data generated for over twenty different animal species.  Using this data, THOR can rapidly and efficiently reconstruct genomic sequences orthologs in low-coverage genomes.  THOR is written in Java and runs on linux.    

Release

The current version is 1.0.
