Analysis workflows

wf-tb-amr

wf-tb-amr is a workflow for determining the antibiotic resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis targeted sequencing samples.

wf-mpx

This workflow provides a simple way to analyse mpox sequencing data; taking raw Oxford Nanopore Technologies reads and creating a draft consensus and assembly.

wf-flu

This analysis workflow can be used with Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing data from amplified segments of the Influenza Type A and Type B genomes, to determine the most likely strain of Influenza to which the sequenced sample belongs.

wf-cas9

The ONT Cas9 sequencing kit allows the enrichment of genomic regions of interest by amplifying target regions from adapters ligated to Cas9 cleavage sites. The purpose of this workflow is to assess the effectiveness of such Cas9 enrichment, but it can be applied to other enrichment approaches.

wf-bacterial-genomes

This workflow is primarily used to assemble genomes from bacterial reads and provide information on features of interest within those assemblies through annotations.
