Fast and accurate taxonomic domain assignment of short metagenomic reads using BBERT
Testing on a large cohort of soil metagenomes, it is found that BBERT identifies bacterial sequence syntax without relying on reference databases, enabling accurate assignment of taxonomic domain, coding potential, and reading frame directly from reads as short as 100 bp.
