Background: A number of different high throughput genotyping platforms have arisen recently. These platforms generate large amounts of genotyping data which is subsequently processed and stored in public and/or private databases. Both, the variety of platforms employed by the different laboratories and the large amount of data they generate, entail serious problems for data managing in most laboratories. Some public or private software packages available today solve some important needs, but they deal with the data from a point of view that the researcher may probably not share, and no supervision of the results (e.g. genotyping inconsistencies or summaries of the genotyping data) may be performed.
Results: The main goal of the Genotyping Data Filter (GDF) software is to allow the researcher to locally manage large numbers of genotypes generat.. View More»
