V-Profiler

Download  License  Versions  Documentation

V-Profiler takes a read alignment and a list of accepted variants at each location in the alignment (such as would be generated by V-Phaser) and analyzes the intra-host diversity of a genome. This can be done at the nucleotide level over the whole sequence, at the codon level for each gene specified in a list, and at the haplotype level for any region delimited (note that the region must not exceed a read length, and is preferably of shorter length such as an epitope or a loop of interest). It will also output Heatmaps of the diversity at the codon level using R.

V-Profiler is available as part of the V-Phaser software package
