Description

eukulele website  

EUKulele is a Python program for taxonomic annotation of microbes in metatranscriptomic and metagenomic samples, with special emphasis on eukaryote discovery.

The software includes four major features:

    * Database setup and formatting
    * Database creation, alignment, and taxonomic estimation
    * Assessment of the BUSCO completeness of subsets of contigs at each taxonomic level
    * Assessment of taxonomic classification using only BUSCO-identified core eukaryotic genes

In principle, there are two prerequisites for running the software:

  1. Metagenomic or metatranscriptomic sample files (unless using the provided sample data)
  2. A database1 to which to align the contigs from the metagenome or metatranscriptome.
