Metagenomics is a genomics research discipline devoted to the study of microbial communities in environmental samples and human and animal organs and tissues. Sequenced metagenomic samples usually comprise reads from a large number of different bacterial communities and hence tend to result in large file sizes, typically ranging between 1-10 GB. This leads to challenges in analyzing, transferring and storing metagenomic data. In order to overcome these data processing issues, we introduce MetaCRAM, the first de novo, parallelized software suite specialized for FASTA and FASTQ format metagenomic read processing and lossless compression.

A taxonomic classifier for metagenomic shotgun reads, which uses phylogenetic marker genes as a taxonomic reference. The classifier, based on BLAST, uses different thresholds (automatically learned from the reference database) for each combination of taxonomic rank, reference gene, and sequence length. The reference database includes marker genes from all complete genomes, several draft genomes and the NCBI nr protein database.
