minoTour - A real time LIMS platform for Oxford Nanopore data
)
minoTour is a web-based, real-time laboratory information management system (LIMS) for ONT sequencers, specifically MinION and GridION. Built using Python3 and Django; it can be hosted locally (offline) on a laptop via Docker, or remotely (online) on a server and accessed remotely. The client for monitoring and uploading data to minoTour, minFQ, can easily be installed via PyPI. minoTour can monitor the activity of a sequencer in real time, presenting a break down and analysis of live sequencing metrics and integrates with ONT’s MinKNOW, allowing remote control and monitoring of sequencing. Analysis, such as run summaries, alignment and metagenomics can be completed in real-time or after sequencing. minoTour is open source and freely available at our github, with community development strongly encouraged.
