Abstract excerpt
Genotyping single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microbiomes enables strain-level quantification. In this protocol, we describe a computational pipeline that performs fast and accurate SNP genotyping using metagenomic data. We first demonstrate how to use Maast to catalog SNPs from microbial genomes. Then we use GT-Pro to extract unique SNP-covering k-mers, optimize a data structure for storing these k-mers,...
