Mitag4taxa: Extracting SSU rRNA Illumina reads from metagenomes for taxonomic classification

2026-05-05

Abstract excerpt

The prevailing taxonomic profiling methods for an environmental sample rely heavily on PCR amplification of SSU ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and genome-based reference databases. Identification and extraction of Illumina metagenomics sequencing data are PCR independent but technically challenging in recognition of the SSU rRNA fragments. Here we present Mitag4taxa, a computational pipeline designed for taxonomic pro...
