VariScan: Analysis of evolutionary patterns from large-scale DNA sequence polymorphism data

Abstract

Summary: VariScan is a software package for the analysis of DNA sequence polymorphisms at the whole genome scale. Among other features, the software (1) can conduct many population genetic analyses; (2) incorporates a multiresolution wavelet transform-based method that allows capturing relevant information from DNA polymorphism data; (3) facilitates the visualization of the results in the most commonly used genome browsers. © The Author 2005.
