ViroConstrictor is a pipeline designed to process raw FastQ data from viral amplicon-based sequencing and generate biologically correct consensus sequences from your data based on a given reference genome.

ViroConstrictor performs high speed data quality control, data cleanup and high accuracy removal of primer-sequences from NGS reads. As well as alignment of reads and generation of a consensus sequence using the TrueConsense consensus-caller which accounts for sequencing errors and alignment artefacts.

ViroConstrictor is able to run both on a standalone (linux) computer, as well as High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures.

ViroConstrictor is compatible with Nanopore, Illumina, and IONTorrent data (fastq).

Please see the documentation for more information.

ViroConstrictor is available under the AGPLv3 licence
