MGLEX 0.1.1

MGLEX - MetaGenome Likelihood EXtractor

This Python Package provides a probabilistic model to classify nucleotide sequences in metagenome samples. It was developed as a framework to help researchers to reconstruct individual genomes from such datasets using custom workflows and to give developers the possibility to integrate the model into their programs.

• Free software: GPLv3 license

• Source code: https://github.com/fungs/mglex

Features

• Integrates nucleotide composition, multi-sample coverage and taxonomic annotation

• Learns a model in linear time with respect to the number of input sequences

• Classifies novel sequences in linear time

• Calculates likelihood and p-values

• Calculates probabilistic distances between genome bins
