NGS-TOOLBOX

The NGS TOOLBOX is a collection of simple open source Perl scripts that perform basic analyses and processing steps using next generation sequencing (NGS) datasets. Each tool is designed to ensure convenient and intuitive usage. Installation and usage does not require any bioinformatics skills. All scripts work out-of-the-box. Advanced users may use the command line based Perl scripts to build automated sequence analyses/processing pipelines.
