BE-Analyzer

Base editing outcomes from NGS reads, run entirely in your browser

Base editors convert one base into another at a target site without cutting both strands, so the question they raise is not "how big was the indel" but "which base changed, where, and how often". BE-Analyzer answers that from the sequencing reads of an edited amplicon: it merges paired reads, aligns each distinct read against the reference, and reports the conversion rate at every position, the breakdown of what each edited base became, and the alleles behind those numbers.

Base-edited reads

Required. Paired reads are merged with a fastq-join port before alignment.

Control reads

Optional, from an untreated sample. With one, the charts mirror its substitution rate below zero, so background reads as background.

Target

The protospacer only, without the PAM. It has to appear in the reference on one strand or the other.

Positions counted upstream of the PAM. Conversions of C to T inside this window are what the editing rate counts.

How far either side of the protospacer the table and charts reach.

Sequences seen n times or fewer are discarded before analysis.
