Evaluation of the Microba Community Profiler (MCP) for taxonomic profiling of metagenomic datasets from the human gut microbiome
A fundamental goal of microbial ecology is to accurately determine the species composition in a given microbial ecosystem. In the context of the human microbiome, this is important for establishing links betweenmicrobial species and disease states.
A complete domain-to-species taxonomy for Bacteria and Archaea
The Genome Taxonomy Database is a phylogenetically consistent, genome-based taxonomy that provides rank-normalized classifications for ~150,000 bacterial and archaeal genomes from domain to genus. However, almost 40% of the genomes in the Genome Taxonomy Database lack a species name.
