title: 'barbieQ: Analyze Barcode Data from Clonal Tracking Experiments'
version: 1.5.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.barbieQ
abstract: The barbieQ package provides a series of robust statistical tools for analysing
  barcode count data generated from cell clonal tracking (i.e., lineage tracing) experiments.
  In these experiments, an initial cell and its offspring collectively form a clone
  (i.e., lineage). A unique barcode sequence, incorporated into the DNA of the inital
  cell, is inherited within the clone. This one-to-one mapping of barcodes to clones
  enables clonal tracking of their behaviors. By counting barcodes, researchers can
  quantify the population abundance of individual clones under specific experimental
  perturbations. barbieQ supports barcode count data preprocessing, statistical testing,
  and visualization.
