TRANSIT
NOTE: TRANSIT2 requires python3.6+.
Welcome! This is the distribution for the TRANSIT2 and TPP tools developed by the Ioerger Lab at Texas A&M University.
TRANSIT2 is a tool for processing and statistical analysis of Tn-Seq data. It provides an easy to use graphical interface and access to three different analysis methods that allow the user to determine essentiality in a single condition as well as between conditions.

Features
TRANSIT2 offers a variety of features including:
-
More than 10 analysis methods, including methods for determining conditional essentiality as well as genetic interactions.
-
Ability to analyze datasets from libraries constructed using himar1 or tn5 transposons.
-
TrackView to help visualize read-counts across the genome.
-
Can export datasets into a variety of formats, including IGV.
-
Includes a variety of normalization methods.
-
Quality Control diagnostics, to idenfity poor quality datasets.
-
Ability to install as a python package, to import and use in your own personal scripts.
