Release of Jovian 1.2.0
This update includes exclusively changes to the Nanopore reference alignment workflow.
Some notable changes are as follows:
-
Significant speed improvements. The Jovian 1.2.0 nanopore workflow brings the average runtime down to about 20 minutes per sample whereas the previous version required an average 3 hours per sample
-
Improved cleaning of adapters. Jovian 1.2.0 no longer relies on PoreChop in order to remove adapters from the reads.
-
Improved removal of primer sequences. The processes of removing adapters and removing primer sequences are more finetuned to clean reads more precisely and more consistently.
-
Inclusion of "safety nets" in order to properly parse the primer sequences given by the user
-
A new, custom, consensus caller that is able to correct for sequencing and alignment errors up to 1 codon within an ORF.
