[User Story] Flag known pathogens and contaminants #13

Open pbiology opened 11 months ago

Need

As a clinician I want to be able to quickly see if a OTU is a known pathogen or contaminant.

Suggested approach

It would be great to flag OTUs based on a list provided by the clinician. This could be know pathogens, contaminants from the "lab-iome" or the "kit-iome".

These lists could either be provided to the Taxprofiler pipeline, or they could be uploaded by the user directly in the front-end. This would need to be discussed.

Anything else?

One would have to think about how this is done. Should it just be a list of taxonomy? If so where does one draw the line between OTUs.

Could also be based on provided genomes, but that would mean one would have to compare genomes of the two somehow (in the pipeline).
