It relies mainly on minimap2 for alignment and Racon for making consensus sequences.

I made Rebaler for bacterial genomes (specifically for the task of testing basecallers). It should in principle work for non-bacterial genomes as well, but I haven't tested it.

It does this with a deep convolutional neural network classifier, using many of the architectural advances that have proven successful in image classification. Unlike other demultiplexers (e.g. Albacore and Porechop), Deepbinner identifies barcodes from the raw signal (a.k.a. squiggle) which gives it greater sensitivity and fewer unclassified reads.

  • Reasons to use Deepbinner:
    • To minimise the number of unclassified reads (use Deepbinner by itself).
    • To minimise the number of misclassified reads (use Deepbinner in conjunction with Albacore demultiplexing).
    • You plan on running signal-level downstream analyses, like Nanopolish. Deepbinner can demultiplex the fast5 fileswhich makes this easier.
  • Reasons to not use Deepbinner:
    • You only have basecalled reads not the raw fast5 files (which Deepbinner requires).
    • You have a small/slow computer. Deepbinner is more computationally intensive than Porechop.
    • You used a sequencing/barcoding kit other than the ones Deepbinner was trained on.

It is written in C and runs in Linux. FastGT uses a list of variant-specific k-mer pairs that are unique in human genome, counts the frequency of k-mers in sequencing data and predicts the genotype. All this takes less than 1 hour on average low-cost Linux server.
