Overview¶
tbp-parser
is a tool developed in partnership with the California Department of Health (CDPH) to parse the output of Jody Phelan’s TBProfiler tool into four additional files:
- A Laboratorian report, which contains information about each mutation detected and its associated drug resistance profile in a CSV file.
- A LIMS report, formatted specifically for CDPH’s STAR LIMS, which summarizes the highest severity mutations for each antimicrobial drug and the relevant mutations.
- A Looker report, which condenses the information contained in the Laboratorian report into a format suitable for generating a dashboard in Google’s Looker Studio.
- A coverage report, which contains the percent coverage of each gene relative to the H37Rv reference genome in addition to any warnings, such as any deletions identified in the gene that might have contributed to a reduced percent coverage
Please reach out to us at support@theiagen.com if you would like any custom file formats and/or changes to these output files that suit your individual needs.
