However, uptake by research and clinical laboratories is constrained by an absence of computational tools that are specifically designed for the analysis of multi-pathogen enrichment sequence data. Here we present an analysis pipeline, Castanet, for use with multi-pathogen enrichment sequencing data. Castanet is designed to work with short-read data produced by existing targeted enrichment strategies, but can be readily deployed on any BAM file generated by another methodology. Also included are an optional graphical interface and installer script.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In addition to genome reconstruction, Castanet reports method-specific metrics that enable quantification of capture efficiency, estimation of pathogen load, differentiation of low-level positives from contamination, and assessment of sequencing quality. Castanet can be used as a traditional end-to-end pipeline for consensus generation, but its strength lies in the ability to process a flexible, pre-defined set of pathogens of interest directly from multi-pathogen enrichment experiments. In our tests, Castanet consensus sequences were accurate reconstructions of reference sequences, including in instances where multiple strains of the same pathogen were present. Castanet performs effectively on standard computers and can process the entire output of a 96-sample enrichment sequencing run (50M reads) using a single batch process command, in $&amp;lt;$2\u2009h.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Source code freely available under GPL-3 license at https:\/\/github.com\/MultipathogenGenomics\/castanet, implemented in Python 3.10 and supported in Ubuntu Linux 22.04.
