Pangenome analysis with Roary

Abstract

Pangenomics

About This Material

This is a Hands-on Tutorial from the GTN which is usable either for individual self-study, or as a teaching material in a classroom.

Questions this will address

  • How can we identify core and accessory genes across multiple bacterial strains?
  • How do we generate a pangenome using Prokka and Roary?
  • How can we infer the evolutionary relationship of these strains?

Learning Objectives

  • Annotate genomes using Prokka.
  • Use Roary to identify core and accessory genes.
  • Construct a phylogenetic tree of core genes with IQ-TREE.
