Quality check
Nephele provides a pre-processing quality check pipeline for demultiplexed paired-end and single-end FASTQ files. Please see this FAQ on why you may want to run QC pipeline before you run a microbiome analysis. The Nephele QC pipeline can run a quality control check (FastQC), trim primers and/or adapters, trim and/or filter reads based on quality scores, merge read pairs, and provides summary graphs of the QC steps.

dada2
The DADA2 pipeline accepts amplicon single or paired-end FASTQ data, and outputs sequence variants, their sample-wise abundances after removing substitution and chimera errors, and summary plots.

The DADA2 ITS pipeline accepts ITS amplicon FASTQ data, and outputs sequence variants, their sample-wise abundances after removing substitution and chimera errors, and summary plots.

The QIIME 2.0 16S pipeline starts with FASTQ data and finishes with a rarefaction plot, taxonomy barplot and a biom file that can be further explored using the Downstream Analysis pipeline. It relies on VSEARCH for De novo, Open and Closed reference clustering into OTUs. For Single-End data, it also provides the DEBLUR denoising algorithm.

Paired-end only
WGSA2
The WGSA2 pipeline uses raw paired end (PE) shotgun reads to produce de novo assemblies for each sample in a metagenomic dataset, as well as extract optimal levels of information about the taxonomic and functional composition of a microbial community.

WGS - bioBakery
The pipeline runs the Whole Metagenome Shotgun (wmgx) and Visualization for Whole Metagenome Shotgun (wmgx_vis) bioBakery workflows.

sars-cov-2 (beta)
This pipeline assembles SARS-CoV-2 genome and calls mutations from Illumina sequence data generated using a tiled multiplexed primers strategy (example: Artic protocol). Users can select from primers such as ARTIC and NEB-Varskip. Alternatively, users can upload a custom primers design (in .bed format). See more info below.

You can use biom files from your 16S or ITS pipeline outputs to run the downstream analysis (DA) pipeline. Nephele's DA pipeline uses QIIME 2 to provide sample observation and taxonomic summaries and diversity analyses of an OTU table.

Metagenome Inference: PICRUSt2
This pipeline uses PICRUSt2 to predict the functional potential of a community based on marker gene sequencing profiles. It is compatible with the outputs from OTU-picking or denoising algorithm employed in QIIME2 and DADA2 pipelines. The output folder contains inferred genes and protein families and tables of predicted KEGG orthologs (KO), Enzymes (EC) and pathways.
