Shotgun Metagenomics Marker Based Profiling

Shotgun metagenomics provides information of the total genomic DNA from all organisms in a sample. Unlike previous techniques, shotgun metagenomics allows investigators to sequence thousands of organisms in parallel from a single sample, obtaining comprehensive information to evaluate bacterial diversity, microbial abundance and compare data from different time points and environments.

The importance of microbiomes has been underappreciated for a long time. With the aid of next-generation sequencing (NGS), the significance of metagenomics and its impact in medicine, ecology, industry and many other areas is now being revealed.

Marker Based Profiling Pipeline

A workflow that performs an end to end metagenomics analysis, including quality controls, taxonomic profiling, microbial diversity and abundance as well functional analysis to identify gene families and metabolic network activity.

This metagenomic workflow uses clade-specific marker genes for an accurate and fast microbiome and functional profiling analysis. All the steps in the pipeline are based on open source reference bioinformatics tools, considered as standards for the analysis of metagenomics data.

KneadData: Quality controls on metagenomic sequencing data
MetaPhlAn: Profile composition of microbial communities
Phyloseq: Analyze and graphically display phylogenetic data
Vegan: Analyze diversity, community ordination and dissimilarity
Krona: Interactive exploration of relative abundances
HUMAnN: Profile microbial gene families and pathways
Lefse: Differential abundance analysis
ANCOM-BC: Analysis of compositions of microbiomes
MaAsLin: Multivariable associations between microbiome features
