SeqScreen-Nano rapidly characterizes novel pathogens using ONT sequencing in resource-limited settings by identifying ORFs and classifying them functionally and taxonomically.

SeqScreen uses ensemble learning to accurately label pathogenic sequences with functional annotations, achieving high recall and precision for microbial pathogenesis.

KOMB identifies repetitive and homologous genomic regions in metagenomes using K-core graph decomposition, validated on simulated and real datasets.
