Thanks to the finished at Department of Complex Systems project entitled Oxford Nanopore technology: enzyme optimization and genomic data analysis for commercial applications a completely new NanoForms server for bioinformatics data analysis is presented. The prepared server, available at http://nanoforms.tech, is able to handle small genomes (up to 50 MB). After loading a single sequence file (fastq), the data is pre-processed and the user continuously selects the available options, which allows obtaining the DNA/RNA sequence in the form of a fasta file. The NanoForms server has a new pipeline algorithm for processing data from ONT. The functionality of server was also extended by the so-called hybrid assembly (together with Illumina data), which significantly improves the final sequencing quality.
The project was done by the team:
