GraphBin-Tk: assembly graph-based metagenomic binning toolkit

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The study of genetic material directly obtained from natural environments, termed metagenomics, offers valuable insights into microbial communities and their impact on human health and environmental dynamics (Edwards et al., 2013;Pargin et al., 2023).Once the genetic material is extracted, sequenced to obtain reads, and assembled to obtain contigs, a process known as metagenomic binning is used to cluster contigs into bins that represent different taxonomic groups, which results in draft microbial genomes or metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) (V.Mallawaarachchi et al., 2024).Several automated metagenomic binning tools incorporating novel computational methods have been introduced (Alneberg et al., 2014;Chandrasiri et al.,
