As is typical with data integration projects, entities are indexed in order to be retrievable for downstream analysis. Such entities can be experimental data, biological annotations (genes, transcripts, exons), or lab reagents (deletions, insertions, TaqMan assays, guide RNAs). This student will expand an application that aids in the statistical analyses of biological experiments.

The tool is developed via the open-source R statistical programming language and the Shiny web framework. It provides guidance for statistical analyses that is user-friendly and context appropriate. This project entails the following:
