MATAM

Reconstruction of phylogenetic marker genes from short sequencing reads in metagenomes

MATAM is a pipeline to assemble full-length marker genes from metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data. It takes as an input a file of reads (fasta or fastq format) and a reference database containing the largest possible set of sequences from a given target marker gene.

MATAM was validated on the 16S rRNA gene and Illumina data, and can perform out-of-the-box assemblies using the provided default reference database. Optionnaly, assembled sequences can be assigned using the RDP classifier and visualized with Krona.
