MetaCV

Description

metacv website  

MetaCV is a composition and phylogeny-based algorithm to classify very short metagenomic reads (75-100 bp) into specific taxonomic and functional groups. It performs (for both sensitivity and specificity) as good as BlastX-based methods on simulated short reads, but runs 300 times faster, thus provides fast and accurate analysis on huge amount of NGS data.
