 kineticsTools [![Circle CI](https://circleci.com/gh/PacificBiosciences/kineticsTools.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/PacificBiosciences/kineticsTools)

Tools for detecting DNA modifications from single molecule, real-time (SMRT&reg;) sequencing data. This tool implements the P_ModificationDetection module in SMRT&reg; Portal, used by the RS_Modification_Detection and RS_Modifications_and_Motif_Detection protocol. Researchers interested in understanding or extending the modification detection algorthims can use these tools as a starting point.
