Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) offers ultrahigh-throughput multi-sample sequencing but only provides barcode kits that enable up to 96-sample multiplexing. We present TDFPS-Designer, a new toolkit for nanopore sequencing barcode design, which creates significantly more barcodes: 137 with a length of 20 base pairs, 410 at 24 bp, and 1779 at 30 bp, far surpassing ONT's offerings. It includes GPU-based acceleration for ultra-fast demultiplexing and designs robust barcodes suitable for high-error ONT data. TDFPS-Designer outperforms current methods, improving the demultiplexing recall rate by 20% relative to Guppy, without a reduction in precision.
牛津纳米孔技术(ONT)提供超高通量多样本测序,但仅提供最多可实现 96 个样本多重化的条码试剂盒。我们介绍 TDFPS-Designer,这是一个用于纳米孔测序条码设计的新工具包,它可创建数量显著更多的条码:20 个碱基对长度的条码有 137 个,24 个碱基对长度的条码有 410 个,30 个碱基对长度的条码有 1779 个,远远超过 ONT 的产品。它包括基于 GPU 的加速超快速分拆,以及设计适合高错误率 ONT 数据的鲁棒条码。与 Guppy 相比,TDFPS-Designer 提高了分拆召回率 20%,而精度没有降低。
