cronology is an automated workflow for Cronobacter whole genome sequence assembly, subtyping and traceback based on NCBI Pathogen Detection Project for Cronobacter. At present, only short-read data is supported with long-read support and hybrid assembly planned in future versions. Future roadmap also includes support for Metagenomics.

It is written in Nextflow and is part of the modular data analysis pipelines (CFSAN PIPELINES or CPIPES for short) at CFSAN.

Use of rMLST as part of cronology is only for academic and non commercial use only.

For full terms and conditions please see rMLST_licence.pdf. To discuss any other sort of use, including a commercial use licence, please contact [email protected] quoting reference 7895/MC.

• The main workflow has been used for research purposes only.
• Analysis results should be interpreted with caution and should be treated as suspect, as the pipeline is dependent on the precision of metadata from the NCBI Pathogen Detection project.
• Internet access is required for succesful completion since the pipeline uses Ribosomal MLST (RMLST) for Cronobacter species identification using PubMLST API calls.

NCBI Pathogen Detection:

We gratefully acknowledge all data contributors, i.e., the Authors and their Originating laboratories responsible for obtaining the specimens, and their Submitting laboratories for generating the sequence and metadata and sharing it via the NCBI Pathogen Detection site, some of which this research utilizes.
