FAPROTAX facts:
|
Potential FAPROTAX applications:
- Ecological interpretation of 16S marker gene data.
- Cheaper alternative to environmental shotgun sequencing (metagenomics) for functional community profiling.
- Complementary to metagenomics, e.g. resolving ambiguities in the interpretation of community gene content.
- Rapid identification of taxonomic groups in a sample with particular metabolic phenotypes (e.g. all known or putative methanogens).
FAPROTAX, including associated software, is free and available here.
