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.

GTDB-Tk: a toolkit to classify genomes with the Genome Taxonomy Database

The Genome Taxonomy Database Toolkit (GTDB-Tk) provides objective taxonomic assignments for bacterial and archaeal genomes based on the GTDB. GTDB-Tk is computationally efficient and able to classify thousands of draft genomes in parallel. Here we demonstrate the accuracy of the GTDB-Tk taxonomic assignments by evaluating its performance on a phylogenetically diverse set of 10 156 bacterial
