Poriscope: A Configurable Pipeline for Nanopore Data Analysis

Open Access
|Apr 2026

Abstract

While a common workflow for data analysis exists in the nanopore research field, limitations remain. Notably, the fragmentation of methods and tools hinders interoperability and limits broader collaboration. Poriscope addresses these challenges by providing a unifying, modular framework for the analysis of single-molecule time series data acquired with nanopore sensors. It implements a plugin-based architecture that enables extensibility and interoperability while allowing users to customize each analytical stage independently from the overall framework. Any existing analysis methodology can be implemented as a self-contained plugin that integrates seamlessly into the overall pipeline via the Poriscope application programming interface (API). Poriscope is available both as a graphical desktop application and as a scripting module that can be imported into custom analysis scripts as needed.
