A major update to the ToxPi interface (version 2.1) is now available at:
This update includes major speed improvements (especially noticeable when clustering large datasets), the ability to zoom/pan on cluster dendrograms, as well as other refinements for GUI users.
Marissa Kosnik's submission to the 2018 American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) meeting in San Diego has been selected as a Reviewers’ Choice Abstract. It means that the abstract scored in the top 10% of poster abstracts as determined by the reviewers’ score.
