SNP Discovery Made Simple - Case Study

Goal
Discover mutations in ribF* gene of E.coli strain 1 and compare it with 3 other strains

Challenges

1. Lack of user-friendly visualization tools or availability of stand-alone tools
2. Too many files to mine to discover a mutation; Labor-intensive Process
3. No immediate availability of bioinformaticians due to a lot of backlog work supporting various projects

Solution
Loci makes complex mutation discovery easy for scientists in under 5 minutes
