About:
OutKnocker is a javascript-based program that was developed for rapid deep sequencing based genotyping of nuclease edited cell clones. OutKnocker was developed by J. Schmid-Burgk and T. Schmidt and coded by J. Schmid-Burgk in the group of Veit Hornung at Institute of Molecular Medicine, University Hospital, University of Bonn.
