Project Description

This project will include use and refinement of Nextflow pipelines for the analysis of metabarcoding data, and comparative analysis using conventional modular analysis workflows (e.g., cutadapt, DADA2, BLAST).


Software or Compute Methods

Nextflow containerised workflow including Nanofilt, Cutadapt, Amplicon sorter, Medaka, BLASTn, Nanoplot, taxonomizr, Multiqc. Other modules for standard modular analysis including Cutadapt, BLAST, R.
