Groupercreation of marker sets for multiplexed genotyping
Glaxo Wellcome Research and Development, Bioinformatics Group 5 Moore Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 277709, USA
Motivation: Efficient high-throughput genotyping experiments require the multiplexing of polymorphic markers, i.e.the use of multiple markers with non-overlapping allele size ranges in a single lane of a genotyping gel. The arrangement of such markers into sets can be facilitated by the availability of appropriate computer software.
Results: This article describes a program, Grouper, that automates the generation of marker sets for multiplexed genotyping experiments.
Availability: The software described in this article is available free of charge from the EBI software archive at
