CheckM: assessing the quality of microbial genomes recovered from isolates, single cells, and metagenomes

TL;DR: An objective measure of genome quality is proposed that can be used to select genomes suitable for specific gene- and genome-centric analyses of microbial communities and is shown to provide accurate estimates of genome completeness and contamination and to outperform existing approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

An improved Greengenes taxonomy with explicit ranks for ecological and evolutionary analyses of bacteria and archaea

TL;DR: A ‘taxonomy to tree’ approach for transferring group names from an existing taxonomy to a tree topology is developed and used to apply the Greengenes, National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and cyanoDB (Cyanobacteria only) taxonomies to a de novo tree comprising 408 315 sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

STAMP: statistical analysis of taxonomic and functional profiles

TL;DR: UNLABELLED STAMP is a graphical software package that provides statistical hypothesis tests and exploratory plots for analysing taxonomic and functional profiles and a user-friendly graphical interface permits easy exploration of statistical results and generation of publication-quality plots.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of Culture-Independent Studies on the Emerging Phylogenetic View of Bacterial Diversity

TL;DR: The authors' perspective on microbial diversity has improved enormously over the past few decades in large part due to molecular phylogenetic studies that objectively relate organisms.
