Welcome to the LocoGSE (Low coverage Genome Size Estimation) calibration wiki

LocoGSE is a program which predicts the size of a genome using a linear regression between the average estimated coverage and the experimental depth. This program has been calibrated for most plant Angiosperm familes (listed here: LocoGSE/lib/PlantFamilies.CoeffRegression.txt). If one wants to apply it to other lineages (other plants, animals...), the calibration (new slope calculation) has to be performed first. For computing your own slope, please see Linear Regression. This wiki also contains a tutorial for Plotting with R.
