EnviroAmpDesigner designs multiplex PCR primer panels for detecting and subtyping specific bacteria in environmental samples, focusing on specificity and minimizing off-target amplification.

AmpliconTyper is a tool for analysing ONT multiplex amplicon sequencing data from environmental samples, using machine learning to classify reads and identify SNPs.

The paper introduces piranha, a tool for automated detection and classification of polioviruses from nanopore sequencing reads, enabling efficient intratypic differentiation and identification of wild-type and vaccine-derived polioviruses.
