Annotating microbial taxonomy from amplicon sequence data.
PM-profiler is a sequence annotation tool for amplicon metagenomic short reads. It implements an extremely rapid taxonomy annotation algorithm, swiftly searching the database for all the most similar sequences, and annotating the results with the Highest Weight Leaf (HWL) and the Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA). PM-profiler is optimized through parallel computing, enabling it to rapidly process large datasets. We recommend that you read the following before using it.
