MinoTour

MinoTour performs real-time automated analysis of Oxford Nanopore sequencing data to map and classify reads and to monitor sequencing metrics for rapid biological interpretation.


Key Features:

  • Real-Time Data Analysis: Performs automated mapping and classification of sequence reads as they are generated.
  • Continuous Monitoring: Provides real-time sequencing metrics to monitor progress and read quality continuously.
  • Integration with Nanopore Technology: Integrates with Oxford Nanopore sequencers to analyze nanopore-generated reads in real time.
  • Real-time Analysis Framework: Operates a framework that conducts analysis concurrently with sequencing runs.

Scientific Applications:

  • Time-sensitive Research: Delivers rapid analytical results for research settings requiring quick biological insights.
  • Pathogen Detection: Enables rapid detection and identification of pathogens from nanopore sequencing data.
  • Genomic Variant Analysis: Supports mapping and classification workflows applicable to genomic variant analysis from nanopore reads.
  • Environmental DNA Studies: Facilitates real-time monitoring and analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) sequencing data.

Methodology:

Integrates automated analysis processes that operate concurrently with sequencing runs to perform real-time mapping, classification, and provision of sequencing metrics.
