Strain profiling and epidemiology of bacterial species from metagenomic sequencing
Microbiota is often a complex mixture of multiple coexisting species and strains with high level of phenotypic and genomic variability. Here, Albanese and Donati develop StrainEst for estimating the number and identity of coexisting strains and their relative abundances in mixed metagenomic samples.
