barbac: an R package for barocde data analysis

barbac is a versatile R package tailor-made for researchers and bioinformaticians working with barcoded sequences. Whether you're delving into the vast realm of genomic data or investigating the temporal dynamics of molecular barcodes, barbac has got you covered.

Install the package using the following commands

Key Features:

1. Barcode Extraction: Efficiently and accurately extract barcode sequences from your genomic datasets.

2. Clustering of Barcodes: Group similar barcode sequences with the in-built clustering algorithm, providing meaningful insights into sequence families or operational taxonomic units (OTUs).

3. Time Series Trajectories: Dive deep into the temporal dynamics of barcoded sequences. barbac not only calculates but also visually represents the trajectory of each barcode over time, making it easier to discern patterns, trends, and anomalies.

Applications:

• Molecular Tracking: Monitor the abundance and variations of specific molecular barcodes over different time points.
• Biodiversity Analysis: Understand the diversity and prevalence of barcode sequences in different samples.
• Evolutionary Dynamics: Track and visualize the emergence, dominance, and decline of barcoded sequences across time.
