间隔种子改进基于k-mer的宏基因组分类
Spaced seeds improve k-mer-based metagenomic classification
摘要:
宏基因组学是研究环境样品遗传含量的有力方法,NGS技术大力推动了这一方法的发展。为了应对现代宏基因组项目中涉及的大量数据,最近的工具[4,39]依赖于待分类的读段和采样的参考基因组之间共享的k-mer的分析。在这个一般的框架内,我们在这项工作中,间隔种子提供了一个显着的改善,而不是传统的连续的k-mer的分类精度。我们通过一系列不同的计算实验来支持这一论点,包括大规模宏基因组项目的模拟。本研究中使用的程序和程序以及补充材料可从http://github.com/gregorykucherov/spaced-seeds-for-metagenomics获得。
英文摘要:
Metagenomics is a powerful approach to study genetic content of environmental samples that has been strongly promoted by NGS technologies. To cope with massive data involved in modern metagenomic projects, recent tools [4, 39] rely on the analysis of k-mers shared between the read to be classified and sampled reference genomes. Within this general framework, we show in this work that spaced seeds provide a significant improvement of classification accuracy as opposed to traditional contiguous k-mers. We support this thesis through a series a different computational experiments, including simulations of large-scale metagenomic projects. Scripts and programs used in this study, as well as supplementary material, are available from http://github.com/gregorykucherov/spaced-seeds-for-metagenomics.
