New metagenomic assembler published by CBCB scientists

Jan 15, 2013

A paper describing the metAMOS software, a new metagenomic assembly and analysis pipeline, has appeared in the journal Genome Biology. This project, initiated in Dr. Mihai Pop's lab, was led by Dr. Todd Treangen, a former postdoctoral fellow in our center, and currently a researcher at NBACC in Frederick, Maryland. The research team includes a number of current and former members of the CBCB as well as other collaborators from NBACC and the University of California, Davis.

The AMOS software can be downloaded from: http://www.cbcb.umd.edu/software/metamos
