Detect Virulence factors with VFDB integration
Solu now supports virulence detection via the integrated Virulence Factor Database (VFDB). Virulence factors are screened using ABRicate against the VFDB.
This upgrade makes the identification of pathogenic traits even more powerful by significantly expanding coverage and improving result accuracy.
You can find the information under "Virulence" tab on a single sample page.

Check the quality of long-reads, just like with short-reads
We’ve expanded our Quality Control capabilities to support long-read sequencing data, enabling more thorough assessment of read quality across diverse input types.
You can check the quality under "Read quality" tab on a single sample page.
