Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics in nanopore research covers the computational steps that transform raw nanopore signals and reads into interpretable biological or technical results.

Key tasks

  • Basecalling raw signal into sequence reads.
  • Quality control and read filtering.
  • Read mapping to reference genomes.
  • De novo genome assembly.
  • Variant calling and structural variant analysis.
  • Taxonomic classification for metagenomics and pathogen detection.
  • Methylation and other modification analysis.

Notes for this wiki

Bioinformatics pages should include tool names, input and output formats, assumptions, common failure modes, and links to reproducible workflows when available.
