Metagenome-Atlas

Metagenome-atlas is a easy-to-use metagenomic pipeline based on snakemake. It handles all steps from QC, Assembly, Binning, to Annotation.

You can start using atlas with three commands:

    mamba install -y -c bioconda -c conda-forge metagenome-atlas={latest_version}
    atlas init --db-dir databases path/to/fastq/files
    atlas run all

where {latest_version} should be replaced by

Development/Extensions

Here are some ideas I work or want to work on when I have time. If you want to contribute or have some ideas let me know via a feature request issue.

• Optimized MAG recovery (e.g. Spacegraphcats)
• Integration of viruses/plasmid that live for now as extensions
• Add statistics and visualisations as in atlas_analyze
• Implementation of most rules as snakemake wrapper
• Cloud execution
• Update to new Snakemake version and use cool reports.
