MICRA: an automatic pipeline for fast characterization of microbial genomes from high-throughput sequencing data
Abstract The increase in available sequence data has advanced the field of microbiology; however, making sense of these data without bioinformatics skills is still problematic. We describe MICRA, an automatic pipeline, available as a web interface, for microbial identification and characterization t...
