About ForiC

Welcome to ForiC and web application portal dedicated to the identification of the origin of replication (oriC) in bacterial genomes. This application and scientific paper (under Submission) introduces a novel computational approach that significantly enhances the accuracy of oriC prediction. Traditional methods like GC skew analysis, although useful, have shown varying accuracy levels under different conditions. ForiC, as an integrated method, combines GC skew analysis with additional mathematical computations.

The provided web application allows researchers and professionals to leverage this advanced method to predict oriC regions in unannotated bacterial genomes. By inputting genomic data, users can obtain detailed information on predicted oriC locations, including comprehensive plots and tables that present fundamental genomic details and preliminary results.

The aim is to support the scientific community with tools that enhance genomic research, streamline the prediction process, and contribute to a deeper understanding of bacterial replication mechanisms.
