vartracker: an end-to-end tool for pathogen longitudinal variant analysis and visualisation (opens in new tab)

Longitudinal sequencing can reveal fine-grained pathogen evolution during acute and chronic infections and inform public health responses. However, integrating ordered pathogen genomic data into a coherent evolutionary and clinical framework can be tedious and error-prone. We present vartracker, an open-source tool for longitudinal pathogen variant analysis and visualisation. Given an ordered sample manifest, vartracker supports three entry points: raw sequence reads, reference-aligned BAM fi...
