Public Health Bioinformatics (PHB)

Bioinformatics workflows for characterization, epidemiology and sharing of pathogen genomes.

More information about the steps undertaken in these workflows is available via the Theiagen Public Resources Documentation.

Support for running these workflows can be sought by raising a GitHub issue or by contacting Theiagen at [email protected].

These workflows are written in WDL, a language for specifying data processing workflows with a human-readable and writeable syntax. They have been developed by Theiagen Genomics to primarily run on the Terra.bio platform but can be run locally or on an HPC system at the command-line with Cromwell or miniWDL.
