A polymorphic bayesian genotyping model with wide applicability.

EcoliTyper is a revolutionary bioinformatics pipeline that eliminates workflow fragmentation in E. coli genomic surveillance. By integrating nine core analyses into a single automated workflow, EcoliTyper transforms disconnected genomic data into coherent biological narratives with actionable public health intelligence. It is a species-optimized computational pipeline for comprehensive genotyping and surveillance of Escherichia coli, perfect for clinical microbiology, outbreak investigations, and genomic research.

Freely available tools for biological computing in Python, with included cookbook, packaging and thorough documentation. Part of the [Open Bioinformatics Foundation](http://open-bio.org/). Contains the very useful [Entrez](https://biopython.org/DIST/docs/api/Bio.Entrez-module.html) package for API access to the NCBI databases.

Minimap2 is an pairwise aligner for genomic and spliced nucleotide sequences. It can perform the assembly-to-assembly alignment, and works with gzip'd FASTQ, FASTA formats. It also finds overlaps between long-reads.
