Summary MinoTour offers a LIMS system for Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) sequencers, with real-time metrics and analysis available permanently for review. Integration of unique real-time automated analysis can reduce the time required to answer biological questions, including mapping and classification of sequence whilst a run is in progress. Real-time sequence data requires new methods of analysis which do not wait for the completion of a run and MinoTour provides a framework to allow users to exploit these features. Availability and Implementation Source code and documentation are available at https://github.com/LooseLab/minotourcli and https://github.com/LooseLab/minotourapp. Docker images are available from https://hub.docker.com/r/adoni5/, and can be installed using a preconfigured docker-compose script at https://github.com/LooseLab/minotour-docker. An example server is available at http://137.44.59.170.
