* Package name : metaphlan2 Version : 2.6.0 Upstream Author : Duy Tin Truong, Nicola Segata and Curtis Huttenhower * URL : https://bitbucket.org/biobakery/metaphlan2 * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : Metagenomic Phylogenetic Analysis MetaPhlAn is a computational tool for profiling the composition of microbial communities (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryotes and Viruses) from metagenomic shotgun sequencing data with species level resolution. From version 2.0, MetaPhlAn is also able to identify specific strains (in the not-so-frequent cases in which the sample contains a previously sequenced strains) and to track strains across samples for all species. . MetaPhlAn 2.0 relies on ~1M unique clade-specific marker genes (the marker information file can be found at src/utils/markers_info.txt.bz2 or here) identified from ~17,000 reference genomes (~13,500 bacterial and archaeal, ~3,500 viral, and ~110 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 Remark: The large dataset that is contained in the download archive was split up into a separate package metaphlan2-data since it is shipped in a better compressible format and also will not change that frequently as the code. The package will be maintained by the Debian Med team at https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-med/metaphlan2.git
