HYDROID (HYDroxyl-Radical fOotprinting Interpretation for DNA) is a python package for the analysis of the experimental data generated by hydroxyl-radical footprinting (HRF) of DNA-protein complexes and its interpretation through comparison to theoretical predictions from molecular models.
- 2 in 1: HRF experimental data quantification + theoretical analysis of atomistic structures
- Extracts cleavage intensities at individual DNA nucleotides by a number of constraint fitting algorithms
- Uses both Gaussian and Lorentzian models for band intensities
- Cross-platform python-scripted solution, can be install on Linux, MacOS, Windows
- Completely free and relies on open source components such as ImageJ and FreeSASA
- Provides examples of raw data analysis together with data analysis workflows.
