* Package name : metaphlan2-data Version : 2.6.0 Upstream Author : Duy Tin Truong, Nicola Segata and Curtis Huttenhower * URL : https://bitbucket.org/biobakery/metaphlan2/downloads * License : expat Programming Lang: none (pure data) Description : data package for Metagenomic Phylogenetic Analysis MetaPhlAn is a computational tool for profiling the composition of microbial communities (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryotes and Viruses) from metagenomic shotgun sequencing data with species level resolution. From version 2.0, MetaPhlAn is also able to identify specific strains (in the not-so-frequent cases in which the sample contains a previously sequenced strains) and to track strains across samples for all species. . MetaPhlAn 2.0 relies on ~1M unique clade-specific marker genes (the marker information file can be found at src/utils/markers_info.txt.bz2 or here) identified from ~17,000 reference genomes (~13,500 bacterial and archaeal, ~3,500 viral, and ~110 eukaryotic), allowing: . * unambiguous taxonomic assignments; * accurate estimation of organismal relative abundance; * species-level resolution for bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes and viruses; * strain identification and tracking * orders of magnitude speedups compared to existing methods. * metagenomic strain-level population genomics . This package contains the data for metaphlan2. Remark: As discussed on debian-devel list[1] the large data are split from metaphlan2 download into this package and also converted to some format which is smaller in size as well as human editable. The package contains a script which converts these data back to the original format (and does a md5sum based check whether the conversion was successful). The package is maintained by the Debian Med team at https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-med/metaphlan2-data.git [1] last mail in thread which is implemented finally https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/08/msg00066.html
