MetaPhlAn is a computational tool for profiling the composition of
microbial communities (Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryotes) from
metagenomic shotgun sequencing data (i.e. not 16S) with species-level.
With the newly added StrainPhlAn module, it is now possible to perform
accurate strain-level microbial profiling.
.
MetaPhlAn relies on ~1.1M unique clade-specific marker genes (the latest
marker information file mpa_v31_CHOCOPhlAn_201901_marker_info.txt.bz2
can be found here) identified from ~100,000 reference genomes (~99,500
bacterial and archaeal and ~500 eukaryotic), allowing:
.
* unambiguous taxonomic assignments;
* accurate estimation of organismal relative abundance;
* species-level resolution for bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes and
viruses;
* strain identification and tracking
* orders of magnitude speedups compared to existing methods.
* metagenomic strain-level population genomics
