metagenomics contigs taxonomy assignment

05-26-2014, 08:29 AM

Hi everyone,
i'm doing metagenomic assemblies of environmental samples rich in one species (>50% of the bacterial content is coming from a single species).

I got a good amount of contigs using Abyss (but if anyone have good suggestions i'll try other softwares) and i'll like to taxonomically assign my contigs in order to identify the contigs related to the high abundant species and analyze his gene content.

Can anyone suggest a good software for this purpose? I've found different tools for taxonomic assignment of single reads but not much for assembled contigs.

Thanks to anyone that will help

From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data

by SEQadmin2

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

Environmental Genomics in the Age of NGS: From Microbes to Conservation Strategies

by SEQadmin2

Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.

Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...
