Welcome to TRANSIT2’s documentation!
Transit2 is python-based software for analyzing TnSeq data (sequencing data from transposon mutant libraries) to determine essentiality of bacterial genes under different conditions.
This page contains the documentation for TRANSIT2. Below are a few quick links to some of the most important sections of the documentation, followed by a brief overview of TRANSIT2’s features.
Note
TRANSIT2 is a re-implementation of the original version of TRANSIT, which is still being maintained for backwards-compatibility. TRANSIT2 has most of the same analytical methods, but it has an enhanced GUI. Also, some of the command-line arguments and flags have changed.

Features
TRANSIT2 offers a variety of features including:
More than 8 analysis methods, including methods for determining conditional essentiality as well as genetic interactions.
Ability to analyze himar1 or tn5 transposons datasets.
TrackView to help visualize read-counts accross the genome.
Can export datasets into a variety of formats, including IGV.
Includes a variety of normalization methods.
Quality Control diagnostics, to idenfity poor quality datasets.
Ability to install as a python package, to import and use in your own personal scripts.
