Other tools

Other available metagenomics tools are:

Fetch taxonomic representation

fetches taxonomic information for a list of GI numbers (sequences identifiers used by the National Center for Biotechnology Information http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

Filter taxonomy data

filters Taxonomy Datafile according to the relative abundance.

Summarize taxonomy

computes a summary of all taxonomic ranks for the given taxonomic representation.

Draw phylogeny

produces a graphical representations of phylogenetic tree in PDF format.

Find diagonistic hits

takes data generated by Taxonomy manipulation->Fetch Taxonomic Ranks as input and outputs either a list of sequence reads unique to a particular taxonomic rank, or a list of taxonomic ranks and the count of unique reads corresponding to each rank.

Find lowest diagnostic rank

identifies the lowest taxonomic rank for which a mategenomic sequencing read is diagnostic. It takes datasets produced by Fetch Taxonomic Ranks tool (aka Taxonomy format) as the input.

Poisson two-sample test

checks if the number of reads that fall in a particular taxon in location 1 is different from those that fall in the same taxon in location 2.

Create Krona chart

converts the standard result file of MetaPhlAn or Summarize taxonomy tools in a zoomable pie chart using Krona.
