[Taxacom] free utility for DNA sequence deconvolution

[Dmitry Dmitriev]

A new free Web utility, Indelligent 
(http://ctap.inhs.uiuc.edu/dmitriev/indel.asp), may be of interest 
for Taxacom members who work with nuclear sequences, particularly 
introns. When one of the two diploid alleles contains a deletion, direct 
sequencing produces a convoluted chromatogram containing multiple double 
(superimposed) peaks. The new tool reconstructs both allelic sequences 
and the indel, which will often help avoid the cost of separating 
alleles via cloning. A pdf of the paper is available at 
http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000113 
Your comments are welcome.
