MetaBarcoding

A tool in development for processing metabarcoding data — from sequence quality control to a clear taxonomic overview of a sample.

How it will workIn development

SEQUENCE → TAXONOMY

Programme

From sequence to biological context.

This dedicated section will be the entry point to the application, documentation and source code. Direct access to the programme and its technical guide will be added when the repository is connected.

Sequencing dataPreparation of metabarcoding experiment inputs for consistent processing.

Quality controlQuality overview, filtering and data checks before taxonomic analysis.

Taxonomic interpretationAssignment of sequences to taxa and construction of the analysed sample profile.

OutputA clear overview of results ready for expert interpretation and export.

Proposed workflow

Four analysis steps.

The interface will guide users from input files through quality control and comparison to the final taxonomic profile.

Data input

Upload sequencing files and essential sample information.

Quality and filtering

Check reads, remove unsuitable records and prepare data for comparison.

Taxonomic assignment

Compare sequences with reference data and identify the taxa represented.

Profile and report

Visualise sample composition, summarise results and export them for further analysis.

Programme connection

The repository will be connected next.

The page is ready to link to a GitHub repository, documentation and the public application URL. Once the repository is available, buttons for the source code and launching the programme will be added here.
