Real-time analysis and visualization of nanopore metagenomic samples with MARTi.

ABSTRACT: The emergence of nanopore sequencing technology has the potential to transform metagenomics by offering low-cost, portable, and long-read sequencing capabilities. Furthermore, these platforms enable real-time data generation, which could significantly reduce the time from sample collection to result, a crucial factor for point-of-care diagnostics and biosurveillance. However, the full potential of real-time metagenomics remains largely unfulfilled due to a lack of accessible, open-source bioinformatic tools. We present Metagenomic Analysis in Real-Time (MARTi), an innovative open-source software designed for the real-time analysis, visualization, and exploration of metagenomic data. MARTi supports various classification methods, including BLAST, Centrifuge, and Kraken2, letting users custo
