Mihai Pop and his colleagues present "MetAmos", a new metagenomic assembly and analysis pipeline

Mihai Pop and his colleagues presented a new metagenomic assembly and analysis pipeline "MetAmos" in Genome Biology. MetAmos aims to solve some problems that other genome assemblers have with metagenomic data. According to Dr. Pop and his team, "MetAMOS provides a push-button solution for analysis of metagenomic datasets, irrespective of the sequencing technology used," while also offering "a modular and flexible pipeline, integrating many metagenomic analysis tools that can be tailored and extended to meet specific analysis needs."
