Characters

This tutorial shows how to import binary data (= 0 and 1 states) in a BioNumerics database and link the data to a character type experiment.

Spoligotyping is widely used for differentation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. In this tutorial the import of 43-digit binary spoligo codes and 15-digit octal codes is illustrated.

In BioNumerics, character values can be mapped to categorical names according to predefined criteria (see this tutorial for more information about the use of mappings in BioNumerics). When character mappings are present, it becomes possible to define a custom mappings similarity matrix, which determines how similarities are calculated among the mappings. This can be useful when analyzing data sets like SNPs, VNTRs, SSRs, etc. In this tutorial the use of a custom mappings matrix is illustrated.

This tutorial illustrates how to create a dendrogram based on character data coming from different experiments, using a composite data set.

This tutorial illustrates how to calculate a dendrogram based on a binary data set.

This tutorial shows how to import non-numerical data in a BioNumerics database and link the data to a character type experiment. It illustrates the use of character mappings in BioNumerics. Character mappings in BioNumerics are used to map categorical names (e.g. Present/Absent, Yes/No, Susceptible/Intermediate/Resistant, etc.) to character values (e.g. 0 and 1) or a range of values to according to predefined criteria.

This tutorial illustrates how to create a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) based on MLVA repeat numbers. The same steps are also applicable for clustering of other categorical character data sets such as MLST.

This tutorial illustrates how to import MLVA repeat numbers and strain information from a text file. The same steps are also applicable for import of other character experiments.

In BioNumerics, the color intensity and/or color transitions on a TIFF file can be quantified. In this tutorial you will learn how to use this import and quantification tool in BioNumerics Seven.
