Kenny: The answer is yes. The Python version of SCAN provides both the SCAN normalized data as well as the UPC values. We have also released a developer version of the SCAN.UPC package that has a UPC function. Our paper for UPC is now under review, but in all cases we are seeing a mild to moderate performance improvement over the frma barcode.

Hi Kenny, Thanks for your interest in UPC. The Python version can be downloaded from here: http://jlab.bu.edu/software/scan-upc/. If you decide to use this version, let me know, and I will tell you how to extract the UPC values. The R implementation is currently in the developer version of Bioconductor. To get the development version, you'll need to install the development version (2.16) of R first. Then if you follow the instructions here (http://www.bioconductor.org/developers/useDevel/), you should be able to install the SCAN.UPC development package (also using biocLite("SCAN.UPC"). After that, you should be able to load the package and get the help documentation using the following code: library(SCAN.UPC) ?UPC Let me know if you have any questions about it.
