MetaStrainer: accurate reconstruction of bacterial strain genotypes from short-read metagenomic samples.

Abstract excerpt

MOTIVATION: Metagenomics provides broad insights from microbial communities, but more biological relevant phenotypes are attributed to subtle changes at the strain-level rather than species. Despite development of several tools using different algorithms, resolving individual strains from short-read pair-end sequencing data remains challenging. RESULTS: Here we present MetaStrainer, a tool capable of...
