MetaGEN

An all-in-one solution for streamlined metagenomic analyses.

MetaGEN Workflow

MetaGEN is an all-in-one pipeline for the analysis of WGS shotgun metagenome data. MetaGEN takes raw paired-end NGS reads (.fastq.gz) as an input and will perform several analysis steps on these in order to produce a wide variety of outputs, including:

  • QC reports
  • Taxonomic tables
  • Metagenomic assemblies (individual, co and bins)
  • Resistome, virulence and plasmidome profiles
  • Functional pathways and k-mers associated with each sample

MetaGEN requires Snakemake to run, which will install all other dependencies automatically.

Quick Start:

  • Clone the MetaGEN repository
  • Copy read files into the "input" folder
  • Make sure the paired-end reads are named "<unique_name>_R1.fastq.gz" and "<unique_name>_R2.fastq.gz" respectively
  • Edit the config.yml as needed
  • Run MetaGEN
