Snipe is a lightweight alignment-free tool that facilitates efficient assessment of sequencing experiments. Snipe is designed to handle large-scale datasets and is easily scalable to work on massive repositories like the entire Sequence Read Archive (SRA).
- Super lightweight and blazingly fast!
- Accurate estimation of alignment-based metrics, including sequencing depth, breadth, and mapping rate.
- Studying coverage homogeneity across different chromosomes.
- Estimating Amplicon enrichment.
Snipe is only tested in the mammalian space.
Available on Bioconda, Pypi test channel, and we are currently trying to claim the project name on Pypi.
Soon!
Check the visualization dashboard, which allows exploring thousands of preprocessed samples from the SRA. You can also compare your experiments with them!
