Welcome to Metabiome’s documentation!

Metabiome is a pipeline designed to make easier the study and analysis of microbial communities from metagenomic sequence data. Metabiome incorporates high quality software tools that perform main steps in metagenomic analysis:

  • Preprocessing of reads

  • Taxonomic profiling

  • Taxonomic binning

  • Functional profiling

  • 16S extraction

  • Genome assembly

  • Genome binning

  • Bin refinement

Why this is important?

The pipeline allows you to profile the community from a taxonomic and functional approach based on assembled or non-assembled sequences. It also includes a 16S gene extraction step that gives the possibility to carry out comparative analyzes, in relation to abundance, between the bacterial composition of a sample analyzed from different approaches.
