minoTour – real time analysis tools for minIONs

Nanopore sequencing introduces true real-time sequencing for the first time. Full exploitation of real-time sequencing requires a novel approach to data analysis for which we have developed the minoTour platform. Here we present an overview of our real-time analysis tools including a demonstration of some of the key benefits of real-time analysis. Challenges in real-time analysis will be explored and new features including barcode and variant detection will be described.
