Metax enables accurate cross-domain taxonomic profiling of metagenomes.

This broad evaluation demonstrated that Metax resolved bacterial and viral signatures of peri-implantitis in oral microbiomes and revealed signals suggestive of reagent-borne contaminants and reference misassemblies in plasma-cell-free DNA.

Leviathan: fast, memory-efficient, and scalable taxonomic and pathway profiling for (pan)genome-resolved metagenomics and metatranscriptomics

ABSTRACT Functional profiling of meta-omics is essential for understanding microbial communities, yet support for custom genome-resolved reference databases is limited. We introduce Leviathan for integrated taxonomic and functional profiling at both genome and pangenome resolution. Leviathan combines Sylph for ultrafas...

MetaproDB: A Flexible and Reproducible Framework for Biome-Informed Protein Sequence Database Construction for Metaproteomics

Metaproteomic analyses commonly rely on protein sequence databases, yet database construction remains one of the most variable steps in metaproteomic workflows. Here, I present MetaproDB, a flexible and reproducible framework for biome-informed protein-sequence-database construction in metaproteomics. MetaproDB integ...

From Public Archive to Reusable Resource: Characterizing Gut Microbiome Metadata in the NCBI SRA

Public sequencing repositories contain large amounts of gut microbiome data that could support cross-study comparison, reproducibility analysis, and microbiome foundation model development. However, the extent to which these data are structured, harmonized, and reusable at archive scale remains unclear. Here, we charac...
