TY - JOUR T1 - Higher classification sensitivity of short metagenomic reads with CLARK-<em>S</em> JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/053462 SP - 053462 AU - Rachid Ounit AU - Stefano Lonardi Y1 - 2016/01/01 UR - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/05/14/053462.abstract N2 - The growing number of metagenomic studies in medicine and environmental sciences is creating increasing demands on the computational infrastructure designed to analyze these very large datasets. Often, the construction of ultra-fast and precise taxonomic classifiers can compromise on their sensitivity (i.e., the number of reads correctly classified). Here we introduce CLARK-S, a new software tool that can classify short reads with high precision, high sensitivity and high speed at the same time. ER -
