metatea

○ METATEA is developed to support 16S rRNA-based analyses at sequence level using both sequence-supervised and unsupervised modes for rapid and accurate comparison across samples and groups.

○ The sequence-supervised approaches using bacterial sequences from healthy persons and IBD patients were developed. However, you should use the same primers and sequencing platform for the sequence-supervised approaches.

○ Exclusive correlation value (ECV) was defined for the detection of mutually exclusive relationships between bacteria like probiotics and pathogens that are antagonistic each other. You can draw ECV network using ECV matrix from METATEA.

○ METATEA is originally desigend and developed by a talented Post. Doc Seunguk Shin in Yonsei University. If many persons use METATEA and request new functions, more functions will be added in the near future.
