Metagenome Monitor

Download v0.2.0

Mac and Linux builds are available on GitHub

Introduction

MMonitor is software designed for monitoring metagenomes over time, using data from nanopore sequencing. It includes a Python application for desktop use, which manages the analysis of sequence data and metadata for taxonomic and functional insight, as well as quality control. The accompanying webserver Dashboard provides a platform for users to view their analysis results after logging in. Developed with input from laboratory researchers, MMonitor supports real-time data analysis to offer immediate sample overviews, and is flexible for use on personal computers or via external servers for enhanced processing capabilities.

Workflow

Get started by preparing your samples and running them through nanopore sequencing. MMonitor consists of two parts: the Desktop application that you'll need to download to run the analysis pipelines, and this web Dashboard where you can view and explore your results.

Once your sequencing is complete, MMonitor Desktop will automatically process your raw data and make the results available in your personal dashboard. You can monitor the analysis progress in real-time as your data comes in.

Analysis Pipeline

MMonitor Desktop runs your sequencing data through our optimized pipeline. Your reads are first quality controlled to ensure the best results. Then, it performs two types of analysis depending on input data:

Identify what organisms are in your sample using taxonomic profiling
Assemble and annotate complete genomes from your data using metagenome assembly and binning

Each genome is automatically checked for quality and annotated with functional information.
