Researchers at the Earlham Institute released MARTi, an open‑source software suite enabling real‑time analysis and visualization of nanopore metagenomic data. MARTi combines a lightweight analysis engine with a browser GUI and supports classifiers like BLAST, Centrifuge and Kraken2, allowing in‑field pathogen identification, AMR gene tracking and rapid biosurveillance on standard laptops. Authors demonstrated MARTi across clinical, agricultural and environmental use cases and emphasized operational flexibility—from shipboard surveillance to neonatal pathogen detection—making real‑time metagenomics more accessible to labs and public‑health teams.
