k-SLAM: accurate and ultra-fast taxonomic classification and gene identification for large metagenomic data sets.
Nucleic Acids Research 2017 Februrary 29
k-SLAM is a highly efficient algorithm for the characterization of metagenomic data. Unlike other ultra-fast metagenomic classifiers, full sequence alignment is performed allowing for gene identification and variant calling in addition to accurate taxonomic classification. A k-mer based method provides greater taxonomic accuracy than other classifiers and a three orders of magnitude speed increase over alignment based approaches. The use of alignments to find variants and genes along with their taxonomic origins enables novel strains to be characterized. k-SLAM's speed allows a full taxonomic classification and gene identification to be tractable on modern large data sets. A pseudo-assembly method is used to increase classification accuracy by up to 40% for species which have high sequence homology within their genus.
