Taxonomy: Technique Branch / Method. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Summary

we developed Dogme to automate basecalling, alignment, modification detection, and transcript quantification. Dogme automates the reprocessing of ONT POD5 files

Usefulness & Problems

No literature-backed usefulness or problem-fit explainer has been materialized for this record yet.

Published Workflows

Objective: Provide a reproducible and standardized workflow for reprocessing Oxford Nanopore POD5 data to detect RNA and DNA modifications and quantify transcripts.

Why it works: The workflow integrates basecalling with Dorado, mapping with minimap2, modification analysis with modkit, and LR-Kallisto transcript quantification into one automated reprocessing pipeline.

Stages

  1. 1.
    Basecalling(broad_screen)

    Basecalling is the first automated processing stage named in the abstract and is required before alignment and downstream modification analysis.

    Selection: Convert ONT POD5 signal data into basecalled reads using Dorado.

  2. 2.
    Read mapping(secondary_characterization)

    Mapped reads provide positional context for subsequent modification analysis and transcript quantification.

    Selection: Map reads using minimap2.

  3. 3.
    Modification detection(functional_characterization)

    This stage produces the modification calls that are a central output of the workflow.

    Selection: Run downstream analysis steps such as modkit to extract modification information from nanopore data.

  4. 4.
    Transcript quantification(functional_characterization)

    The workflow concurrently quantifies transcripts alongside modification detection for integrative transcriptomic and epigenomic analysis.

    Selection: Quantify full-length transcript isoforms with LR-Kallisto for dRNA and cDNA.
