CaPSID: Computational Pathogen Sequence Identification

CaPSID

CaPSID (Computational Pathogen Sequence IDentification) is a comprehensive open source platform which integrates a high-performance computational pipeline for pathogen sequence identification and characterization in human genomes and transcriptomes together with a scalable results database and a user-friendly web-based software application for managing, querying and visualizing results.
