Data Analysis Solutions from ONT

The next lesson in the Nanopore Learning course for Human genome sequencing and analysis I watched was the introduction to data analysis solutions video. The speaker, Anthony Doran, shared a graphic with the different bioinformatics options provided by Oxford Nanopore. EPI2ME is the real-time cloud-based platform. There are several workflows for quality control, alignment, and metagenomics. The next option is EPI2ME Labs, designed to allow users to customize workflows. There are several tutorials and options that users can utilize. EPI2ME Labs can be used to run a workflow such as ARTIC sequence analysis. The output includes files and an HTML report. Oxford Nanopore Technologies has a public GitHub repository with tools and documentation for several tools. Examples include research tools for structural variation analyses. These tools are command-line options. ONT has open datasets that be used to test workflows. The speaker ended by explaining that more content and resources can be found on the community website. The overview provided by Doran helped me realize that the ONT Open Datasets could be used for creating user tutorials.
