ExpoSeq: simplified analysis of high-throughput sequencing data from antibody discovery campaigns.

ABSTRACT

Summary: High-throughput sequencing (HTS) offers a modern, fast, and explorative solution to unveil the full potential of display techniques, like antibody phage display, in molecular biology. However, a significant challenge lies in the processing and analysis of such data. Furthermore, there is a notable absence of open-access user-friendly software tools that can be utilized by scientists lacking programming expertise. Here, we present ExpoSeq as an easy-to-use tool to explore, process, and visualize HTS data from antibody discovery campaigns like an expert while only requiring a beginner's knowledge. Availability and implementation The pipeline is distributed via GitHub and PyPI, and it can either be installed as a package with pip or the user can choose to clone the repository.
