Search Results for "diagnostics"

...However, the majority of approaches either quantify at low resolution (e.g. at phylum level) or have severe problems discerning highly similar species. Yet, accurate quantification on species level is desirable in applications such as metagenomic diagnostics or community comparison. GASiC is a method to correct read alignment results for the ambiguities imposed by similarities of genomes. It has superior performance over existing methods. You can find the accompanying paper here: http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/41/1/e10.short Thanks to the great work of the SeqAn team, you can now use GASiC as a Knime workflow: https://github.com/seqan/knime_seqan_workflows/tree/master/metagenomics_gasic_workflow
