UniteM

UniteM is a software toolkit implementing different ensemble binning strategies for producing a non-redundant set of bins from the output of multiple binning methods.

Major version history

• 1.1.0: UniteM updated to include HMMs from closely related protein families to ensure accurate annotation of marker genes
• >=1.0.0: removed CheckM; genome quality estimated using marker genes identified across GTDB species representatives using Prodigal and HMMER; see UniteM manual for details
• <1.0.0: used CheckM and CheckM marker sets to evaluate the quality of genomes during ensembly binning; used in the draft UniteM manuscript
