NOTE: TRANSIT v3.0+ now requires python3.6+. If you want to use TRANSIT with python2, use version < 3.0.

Welcome! This is the distribution for the TRANSIT and TPP tools developed by the Ioerger Lab at Texas A&M University.

TRANSIT is a tool for processing and statistical analysis of Tn-Seq data. It provides an easy to use graphical interface and access to three different analysis methods that allow the user to determine essentiality in a single condition as well as between conditions.

Changelog

TRANSIT offers a variety of features including:

• More than 10 analysis methods, including methods for determining conditional essentiality as well as genetic interactions.

• Ability to analyze datasets from libraries constructed using himar1 or tn5 transposons.

• TrackView to help visualize read-counts across the genome.

• Can export datasets into a variety of formats, including IGV.

• Includes a variety of normalization methods.

• Quality Control diagnostics, to idenfity poor quality datasets.

• Ability to install as a python package, to import and use in your own personal scripts.

For any questions or comments, please contact Dr. Thomas Ioerger, [email protected].

For full instructions on how to install and run TRANSIT (and the optional pre-processor, TPP), please see the documentation included in this distribution ("src/pytransit/doc" folder) or visit the following web page:
