The EPI2ME platform
EPI2ME is a platform that encourages the development of bioinformatics skills with a focus on the analysis and exploration of nanopore sequence data. The platform provides simplified access to a collection of best-practice bioinformatics workflows that demonstrate solutions to common data analysis problems.
EPI2ME maintains a collection of Nextflow bioinformatics workflows tailored to Oxford Nanopore Technologies long-read sequencing data. They are curated and actively maintained by experts in long-read sequence analysis. Examples include alignment, variant calling, and metagenomics. Other more targeted applications include workflows for single cell transcriptomics, Pore-C chromatin conformation and tumour-normal paired sequencing for identification of somatic mutations.
The Nextflow bioinformatics workflows can all be run from the command line on Linux computers, servers, clusters and cloud resources. The EPI2ME software provides a graphical user interface for users who prefer to avoid the command line and is supported on Windows, macOS and Linux.
