Description
MetaPhlAn 4 relies on ~5.1M unique clade-specific marker genes identified from ~1M microbial genomes (~236,600 references and 771,500 metagenomic assembled genomes) spanning 26,970 species-level genome bins (SGBs, http://segatalab.cibio.unitn.it/data/Pasolli_et_al.html), 4,992 of them taxonomically unidentified at the species level. What was changed in version 4:
- Adoption of the species-level genome bins system (SGBs).
- New MetaPhlAn marker genes extracted identified from ~1M microbial genomes.
- Ability to profile 21,978 known (kSGBs) and 4,992 unknown (uSGBs) microbial species.
- Better representation of, not only the human gut microbiome but also many other animal and ecological environments.
- Estimation of metagenome composed by microbes not included in the database with parameter --unclassified_estimation.
- Compatibility with MetaPhlAn 3 databases with parameter --mpa3
