Abstract: | Background The identification and study of proteins from metagenomic datasets can shed light on the roles and interactions of the source
organisms in their communities. However, metagenomic datasets are characterized by the presence of organisms with varying
GC composition, codon usage biases etc., and consequently gene identification is challenging. The vast amount of sequence
data also requires faster protein family classification tools. |
