ClaMS: A Classifier for Metagenomic Sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
ClaMS - "Classifier for Metagenomic Sequences" - is a Java application for binning assembled contigs in metagenomes using user-specified training sets and initial parameters. Since ClaMS trains on sequence composition-based genomic signatures, it is much faster than binning tools that rely on alignments to homologs; ClaMS can bin ~20,000 sequences in 3 minutes on a laptop with a 2.4 GH× Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB RAM. ClaMS is meant to be a desktop application for biologists and can be run on any machine under any Operating System on which the Java Runtime Environment can be installed.

GSTaxClassifier (Genomic Signature based Taxonomic Classifier) is a program for metagenomics analysis of shotgun DNA sequences. The program includes a simple but effective algorithm, a modification of the Bayesian method, to predict the most probable genomic origins of sequences at different taxonomical ranks, on the basis of genome databases;a function to generate genomic profiles of reference...
متن کاملHigher Classification Accuracy of Short Metagenomic Reads by Discriminative Spaced k-mers
The growing number of metagenomic studies in medicine and environmental sciences is creating new computational demands in the analysis of these very large datasets. We have recently proposed a timeefficient algorithm called Clark that can accurately classify metagenomic sequences against a set of reference genomes. The competitive advantage of Clark depends on the use of discriminative contiguo...

Motivation Metagenomic read classification is a critical step in the identification and quantification of microbial species sampled by high-throughput sequencing. Although many algorithms have been developed to date, they suffer significant memory and/or computational costs. Due to the growing popularity of metagenomic data in both basic science and clinical applications, as well as the increas...
