focus online with Winfy

We have hosted the application focus in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about focus:

FOCUS, an innovative and agile composition based using non-negative least squares to profile and report abundant organisms present in me-tagenomic samples and their relative abundance without sequence length dependencies. The program was tested with simulated and real metagenomes, and the results show that our approach predicts the organisms in random communities.

Availability and implementation: The code implemented in Python can be found here and a web-sever at http: //edwards.sdsu.edu/FOCUS.

Dependencies: Jellyfish, Numpy, and Scipy.
