Fast functional annotation of metagenomic shotgun data by DNA alignment to a microbial gene catalog

2017-03-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Metagenomic shotgun sequencing is becoming increasingly popular to study microbes associated with the human body and in environmental samples. A key goal of shotgun metagenomic sequencing is to identify gene functions and metabolic pathways that differ between samples or conditions. However, current methods to identify function in the large number of reads in a high-throughput sequence data fi...
