ONT human workflow

General info

Here we are implementing a current best practice workflow for processing human Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing data implemented by Miles Benton and the Singapore - New Zealand Applications Project Support Team, Oxford Nanopore Technologies. A nextflow pipeline wrapping up these scripts is on the horizon, but since we want to run this code now, this repository serves to adapt the original scripts to run on ESR's production network, including deploying to SLURM. Running this analysis on other compute infrastructures is not supported by the code/documentation in this repository, but is certainly possible and achievable with some bioinformatics knowledge and bit of legwork. See the original work this repository is based on in the ./docs/original_work/workflow_outline/ directory.
