The study of microbial genotype-phenotype relationships plays a key role in many biological contexts, including environmental health, agriculture, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and infectious diseases diagnostics for precision-medicine. The complex molecular mechanisms underlying these phenotypes motivate developing domain-specific data analysis frameworks. Machine-learning approaches together with domain-knowledge can efficiently translate the ever-increasing amount of sequence data into biological insight. However, the complexity of existing computational workflows and the diverse choices of algorithms and hyperparameters pose a challenge for attaining reproducible and robust results.
Seq2Geno2Pheno provides a comprehensive and configurable workflow for inferring reproducible and robust genotype-phenotype associations. The software includes the Seq2Geno (desktop-app) and Geno2Pheno (web-server) packages running jointly or independently using user-defined configuration files. Seq2Geno computes genomic features from microbial sequence data, from which Geno2Pheno then performs predictive-modeling, evaluates those predictors, and suggests biomarkers.
- Include
--to_gpwhen using Seq2Geno to compute the features (more details in the sub-repository), which will automatically submit the results to the Geno2Pheno server - Use the client tool of Geno2Pheno to validate and pack pre-computed data and then manually submit the packed materials to the Geno2Pheno server
