ARIBA: Antibiotic Resistance Identification By Assembly

ARIBA is a tool that identifies anitbiotic resistance genes by running local assemblies.

The input is a FASTA file of reference genes and paired sequencing reads. ARIBA reports which of the reference genes were found, plus detailed information on the quality of the assemblies and any variants between the sequencing reads and the reference genes.

Installation

Please see the readme from the ARIBA github repository for installation instructions.

Usage

The installation installs a single script called ariba, which can be used to run several tasks.

Reference genes

A FASTA file of reference genes is required. This can be sanity checked using

ariba refcheck genes.fasta

and a new, fixed version can be made with

ariba refcheck -o genes.fixed genes.fa

To see all the options, run

ariba refcheck --help
