Abstract: MosMAP is a bioinformatics pipeline designed for mosquito metagenome analysis. MosMAP automates essential processes like quality control, taxonomic classification, species abundance estimation and visualization by integrating tools such as Trimgalore, Kraken 2, Bracken and Krona into a user-friendly workflow. Each of these tools is integrated to ensure a smooth and efficient workflow from raw data to interpretable results. The pipeline simplifies complex bioinformatics tasks, making them accessible to researchers with limited computational expertise. MosMAP demonstrated high concordance with standard bioinformatics workflows such as Kraken and Bracken in terms of read retention, taxonomic accuracy and abundance estimation when applied to metagenomes of mosquito collected in Bhopal, India. This accessible pipeline promotes the simplification of meta-genomics, supporting research in microbiology, ecology and vector-borne diseases.
