What is Python?

Python is a clear and powerful object-oriented programming language, comparable to Perl, Ruby, Scheme, or Java. Integrating Python into SVS 7 provides full programmatic access to many of the software's features enabling the augmentation of existing tools, creating entirely new ones, automation of work flows, integration with other programs and more.

CNV PCA Search

Author: Christophe Lambert; Greta Linse, Golden Helix, Inc.

Given a spreadsheet, prompt for a principal components spreadsheet, a lower and upper bound on the number of components and a step size. Runs association tests using each components setting, does a linear regression on the least significant 90% of the data and reports the slope of the line and a goodness of fit statistic. This script can be used in conjunction with the CNV PCA Search tutorial.
