Introduction

Quasitools is a collection of tools for analysing viral quasispecies data. The following tools are currently available in quasitools:

aacoverage: builds an amino acid consensus and returns its coverage
call: contains tools for identifying variants between a NGS dataset a fasta reference sequence
- ntvar: call nucleotide variants from a BAM file
- aavar: call amino acid variants from a BAM file
- codonvar: call codon variants from a BAM file
complexity: reports the complexity of a quasispecies using several measures
consensus: generate a consensus sequence from a BAM file
distance: measures the distance between quasispecies using angular cosine distance
dnds: calculates the dn/ds value for each region in a bed file
drmutations: identifies amino acid mutations
hydra: identify HIV drug resistance mutations in an NGS dataset
quality: perform quality control on FASTQ reads

Release

quasitools 0.7.0

This release provides greater functionality for the complexity tool, including the ability to run on aligned read data and filter out low frequency haplotypes.

Installation

It is strongly recommended you refer to the documentation for full installation instructions. quasitools may be installed on any 64-bit Linux system from Bioconda with Conda (installation instructions):

Install Bioconda
Install the "quasitools" Bioconda package (conda install quasitools)
