NG-Tax 2.0: A Semantic Framework for High-Throughput Amplicon Analysis.

ABSTRACT: NG-Tax 2.0 is a semantic framework for FAIR high-throughput analysis and classification of marker gene amplicon sequences including bacterial and archaeal 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), eukaryotic 18S rRNA and ribosomal intergenic transcribed spacer sequences. It can directly use single or merged reads, paired-end reads and unmerged paired-end reads from long range fragments as input to generate de novo amplicon sequence variants (ASV). Using the RDF data model, ASV's can be automatically stored in a graph database as objects that link ASV sequences with the full data-wise and element-wise provenance, thereby achieving the level of interoperability required to utilize such data to its full potential. The graph database can be directly queried, allowing for comparative analyses of over thousands
