UNICS

Overview

UNICS is a web app that helps you computing the standard error of allele frequency estimations of future pool-sequencing experiments based on different parameters (the number of individuals sampled, the frequency of the allele, the coefficient of variation of individual contributions to the DNA pool, the mean and dispersion in sequencing depth). You can use it trough the online version and read the related publication in press.

Here is a screenshot of the main sheets of the app:

Local use

You can use the tool locally. You need R to be installed on your computer. Open R and use the code below:

install.packages(shiny)
library(shiny)
runGitHub("Unics","Rode")

Local installation

You can install the app on your machine.

1. Download the whole repository

2. Open R and make sure these library are installed:

library(shiny)
library(tidyverse)
library(shinyWidgets)

If you miss a library, remember you can install it with:

ìnstall.packages("shiny")

3. Then, set the working directory and run the App:

setwd("my/path/to/the/github/folder/you/downloaded")
runApp()
