Spoligotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis provides a subspecies classification of this major human pathogen. Spoligotypes can be predicted from short read genome sequencing data; however, no methods exist for long read sequence data such as from Nanopore or PacBio. We present a novel software package Galru, which can rapidly detect the spoligotype of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis sample from as little as a single uncorrected long read. It allows for near real-time spoligotyping from long read data as it is being sequenced, giving rapid sample typing. We compare it to the existing state of the art software and find it performs identically to the results obtained from short read sequencing data. Galru is freely available from https://github.com/quadram-institute-bioscience/galru under the GPLv3 open source licence.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
