MetaPASSAGE – Automated Simulations and Analysis of Gene Families

MetaPASSAGE

:: DESCRIPTION

MetaPASSAGE, a software pipeline to generate in silico bacterial communities, simulates a sample of shotgun reads from a gene family represented in the community, orient or translate reads, and produce a profile-based alignment of the reads from which a gene-family phylogenetic tree can be built.
