BusyBee Web: towards comprehensive and differential composition-based metagenomic binning.

ABSTRACT: Despite recent methodology and reference database improvements for taxonomic profiling tools, metagenomic assembly and genomic binning remain important pillars of metagenomic analysis workflows. In case reference information is lacking, genomic binning is considered to be a state-of-the-art method in mixed culture metagenomic data analysis. In this light, our previously published tool BusyBee Web implements a composition-based binning method efficient enough to function as a rapid online utility. Handling assembled contigs and long nanopore generated reads alike, the webserver provides a wide range of supplementary annotations and visualizations. Half a decade after the initial publication, we revisited existing functionality, added comprehensive visualizations, and increased the number of
