TSSpredator-Web

Short overview

A web-application for the predication of Transcription Starting Sites (TSS) using Wiggle files and TSSpredator.

Besides facilitating the overall prediction of the TSS by providing a web-application, the interface facilitates the file allocation by allowing a drag-and-drop distribution of the files. Moreover, all config files can be saved and easily uploaded for any re-anaysis of the data.

While predicting the TSSs, a status website is provided. This allows users to close the browser without interrupting the prediction of the TSSs.

The application also allows the exploration of the results by providing overview and detail visualizations.

All results and figures can be also exported from the web-app.

TSSpredator-Web is available at: https://tsspredator-tuevis.cs.uni-tuebingen.de/
