Modern methods aimed to biological data analysis are commonly available exclusively in the form of programming libraries. This means that their use is limited to experts with programming knowledge. Therefore, such methods are difficult to be used by life-science experts and scientists in their everyday work.
In this thesis we present the development of a web application for the analysis of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) data -- ddPCR (digital-droplet Polymerase Chain Reaction) data, to be exact. The web application backend uses a library with different modern analysis methods of said data. With the use of a user-friendly graphical interface, it enables the user to perform selected analyses, display of results in a tabular and graphical formats, and export in a common report formats.
We present the fundamentals of different types of PCR analyses their corresponding data and we describe the libraries, used in the proposed implementation. We present the functionalities of our application and illustrate its practical use on simple yet illustrative examples.
