Outbreak transmission and analysis
JUNIPER
A framework for predicting both phylogenies and transmission networks for viral outbreaks, accounting for both within-host variability and incomplete data.
Delphy
A fast, scalable, accurate, and accessible tool for Bayesian phylogenetics with a drag-and-drop interface that requires no local installation or coding.
ReconstructR
An R package that allows for prediction of transmission events in infectious disease outbreaks and can account for within-host variability.
Laboratory Protocols
Laboratory Protocols
Viral-Amplicon-Pipeline
Automated viral amplicon sequencing methods and scripts for Hamilton liquid handlers.
Broad Institute Metagenomic Sequencing Protocol
Pooled metagenomics sequencing protocol (paired with hybrid capture using the Twist Comprehensive Viral Research Panel) that greatly decreases library preparation costs by allowing 24–96 samples to be processed through a single shared downstream reaction after reverse transcription.
Reports
Reports generated by the NE PGCoE will be made available here when ready.
