Description

NACHO (NAnostring quality Control dasHbOard) is developed for NanoString nCounter data. NanoString nCounter data is a messenger-RNA/micro-RNA (mRNA/miRNA) expression assay and works with fluorescent barcodes. Each barcode is assigned a mRNA/miRNA, which can be counted after bonding with its target. As a result each count of a specific barcode represents the presence of its target mRNA/miRNA.

Tools

NACHO
GPL-3.0

R package that uses two main functions to summarize and visualize NanoString RCC files, namely: `load_rcc()` and `visualise()`. It also includes a function `normalise()`, which (re)calculates sample specific size factors and normalises the data. For more information `vignette("NACHO")` and `vignette("NACHO-analysis")`
