DATMA: Distributed AuTomatic Metagenomic Assembly and annotation framework.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A prime objective in metagenomics is to classify DNA sequence fragments into taxonomic units. It usually requires several stages: read's quality control, de novo assembly, contig annotation, gene prediction, etc. These stages need very efficient programs because of the number of reads from the projects. Furthermore, the complexity of metagenomes requires efficient and automatic tools that orchestrate the different stages.

Method

DATMA is a pipeline for fast metagenomic analysis that orchestrates the following: sequencing quality control, 16S rRNA-identification, reads binning, de novo assembly and evaluation, gene prediction, and taxonomic annotation. Its distributed computing model can use multiple computing resources to reduce the analysis time.
