WES: Tools for Analyzing Wastewater and Environmental Sampling Data

Provides reproducible functions for collating and analyzing data from environmental sampling studies. Environmental Sampling (ES) of infectious diseases involves collecting samples from various sources (such as sewage, water, air, soil, or surfaces) to monitor the presence of pathogens in the environment. Analysis of ES data often requires the calculation of Real-Time Quantitative PCR (qPCR) variables, normalizing ES observations, and analyzing sampling site characteristics. To help reduce the complexity of these analyses we have implemented tools that assist with establishing standardized ES data formats, absolute and relative quantification of qPCR data, estimation of qPCR amplification efficiency, and collating open-source spatial data for sampling sites.
