Advances in sequencing technologies have equipped researchers with the ability to sequence the collective genome of entire microbial communities commonly referred to as metagenomi...
Background: Computational analysis of metagenomes requires the taxonomical assignment of the genome contigs assembled from DNA reads of environmental samples. Because of the diver...
