ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for a rapid, convenient, and scalable diagnostic method for detecting a novel pathogen amidst a global pandemic. While command-line interface tools offer automation for SARS-CoV-2 Oxford Nanopore Technology sequencing data analysis, they are inapplicable to users with limited programming skills. A solution is to establish such automated workflows within a graphical user interface software. We developed two workflows in the software Geneious Prime 2022.1.1, adapted for data obtained from the Midnight and Artic's nCoV-2019 sequencing protocols. Both workflows perform trimming, read mapping, consensus generation, and annotation on SARS-CoV-2 Nanopore sequencing data. Additionally, one workflow includes phylogenetic assignment using the bioinformatic tools pangolin and Nextclade as plugins. The basic workflow was validated in 2020, adhering to the requirements of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control for SARS-CoV-2 sequencing and analysis. The enhanced workflow, providing phylogenetic assignment, underwent validation at Uppsala University Hospital by analysing 96 clinical samples. It provided accurate diagnoses matching the original results of the basic workflow while also reducing manual clicks and analysis time. These bioinformatic workflows streamline SARS-CoV-2 Nanopore data analysis in Geneious Prime, saving time and manual work for operators lacking programming knowledge.
