Deriving enzymatic and taxonomic signatures of metagenomes from short read data

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>We propose a method for deriving enzymatic signatures from short read metagenomic data of unknown species. The short read data are converted to six pseudo-peptide candidates. We search for occurrences of Specific Peptides (SPs) on th...
