Played around w/ FAPROTAX from Louca Lab today. It’s so cool that this software/database exists. Using it on time series data to see how microbial community and metabolic function change before/after a perturbation. Having one of those science is so cool moments. pages.uoregon.edu/slouca/Louca...

Anyone have recommendations for #metagenomics folks to follow?

Great resource for the low-biomass struggle! 🦠

Adding a rec: MicrobIEM. It’s flexible and puts a lot of control back in the user's hands (vs black-box filtering). I was able to BLAST the flagged sequences to confirm they were indeed contaminants. Highly recommend.
