Microbiome diagnostics using functionally similar genome clustering

Abstract

Advancement in the field of metagenomic research have highlighted the role of microbiomes can play ecologically and clinically contexts. So, our proposed platform will provide metagenomic researchers with a friendly user interface for efficient exploration of microbial communities based on their functional signatures. The core functionality of the platform will revolve around a comprehensive database repository and web server part. Researchers can seamlessly navigate through both parts to choose a functional profile of interest with species names, or they have abundance matrix to leverage a precomputed nearest neighbors matrix and system generates locality sensitive hashing outputs to get nearest neighbors and enables efficient comparison and clustering of microbial communities.
