From defaults to databases: parameter and database choice dramatically impact the performance of metagenomic taxonomic classification tools

2022-04-28

Abstract excerpt

In metagenomic analyses of microbiomes, one of the first steps is usually the taxonomic classification of reads by comparison to a database of previously taxonomically classified genomes. While different studies comparing metagenomic taxonomic classification methods have determined that different tools are “best”, there are two tools that have been used the most to-date: Kraken ( k -mer based classification again...
