  Introduction

I developed sangeranalyseR while working as a research assistant at the Molecular Evolution and Phylogenetics Lab, led by Prof. Robert Lanfear during my exchange at the Australian National University. sangeranalyseR is now available on Bioconductor 3.12.

This package builds on sangerseqR to allow users to create contigs from collections of Sanger sequencing reads. It provides a wide range of options for a number of commonly-performed actions including read trimming, detecting secondary peaks, and detecting indels using a reference sequence. All parameters can be adjusted interactively either in R or in the associated Shiny applications. There is extensive online documentation, and the package can outputs detailed HTML reports, including chromatograms.
