The mmgenome R package also facilitates effortless integration with additional data sources and hence should not be seen as "yet another binning method", but rather a package to integrate different binning strategies.

All functions in the mmgenome R package has associated documentation, check it out in R by e.g. ?mmplot.

Compare structural and functional annotations of proteins between sequenced genomes.

ArrayGen specializes in Genomics data analysis and research, as we believe in the level of precision, predictability, benchmark-ability, and data analysis capability of genomics data over other forms of biological data. ArrayGen constantly strives to develop new solutions, and plug the existing gaps in the technological advancement of the field.

However, nanopore sequencing is an emerging and rapidly developing technology. It is not clear what will be most informative. We hope that IONiseR will provide a framework for visualisation of metrics that we haven’t thought of, and welcome feedback at mike.smith@embl.de.

If you’re not interested in the quality assement of the raw or event level data, and want to jump straight to the getting FASTQ format files from fast5 files you can go straight to the final section of this document.
