The Taxonomic Classification Service accepts reads or SRR values from sequencing of a metagenomic sample and uses Kraken 2 to assign the reads to taxonomic bins, providing an initial profile of the possible constituent organisms present in the sample. We support taxonomic classification for whole genome sequencing data (WGS) and for 16s rRNA sequencing. It is important that you select the sequence type. Then the analysis options and database options will change support your sequence type.
This module is a component of the BV-BRC build system. It is designed to fit into the
dev_container infrastructure which manages development and production deployment of
the components of the BV-BRC. More documentation is available here.
There is one application service specification defined here:
- Taxonomic Classification: Service that that provides the backend for the BV-BRC web inerface; it takes reads as input.
The code in this module provides the BV-BRC application service wrapper scripts for the genome annotation service as well as some backend utilities:
| Script name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| App-TaxonomicClassification.pl | App script for the taxonomic classification service |
