In addition to our research, we have dedicated efforts to developing bioinformatic tools to providing researchers with advanced capabilities for data analysis and interpretation. These include:
- SnapperRocks Genome analysis pipeline for prospective genomic surveillance. SnapperRocks is a key component of the NATA-accredited genomics surveillance program deployed within Queensland Health (https://github.com/FordeGenomics/SnapperRocks)
- Cathai: Longitudinal clustering of clinical samples alongside clinical metadata. Cathai is a key component of the NATA-accredited genomics surveillance program deployed within Queensland Health https://cathai.fordelab.com
- GraphSNP: An interactive distance viewer for exploring genomic epidemiological data, enabling researchers to visualise pairwise SNP distances and analyse cluster and transmission patterns https://graphsnp.fordelab.com
- HAIviz: An interactive dashboard designed for visualising and integrating healthcare-associated genomic and epidemiological data, offering insights into outbreaks and transmission events with a focus on enhancing the infection-control responses. https://haiviz.fordelab.com
