MetaPhage, automated reads-to-report pipeline
MetaPhage is a complete reads-to-report pipeline for viral metagenomics. It is a Nextflow pipeline that can be run on a local machine or on a cluster. It is designed to be easy to use and to provide a complete report of the analysis.

The programme
- EBAME-22 notes: EBAME-7 specific notes
- Gathering the reads: downloading and subsampling reads from public repositories (optional)
- Gathering the tools: we will use Miniconda to manage our dependencies
- Reads by reads profiling: using Phanta to quickly profile the bacterial and viral components of a microbial community
- De novo mining: assembly based approach, using VirSorter as an example miner
- Viral taxonomy: ab initio taxonomy profiling using vConTACT2
