High-throughput sequencing is a revolutionary technology for the analysis of metagenomic samples. However, querying large volumes of reads against comprehensive DNA/RNA databases in a sensitive manner can be compute-intensive. Here, we present taxMaps, a highly efficient, sensitive, and fully scalable taxonomic classification tool. Using a combination of simulated and real metagenomics data sets, we demonstrate that taxMaps is more sensitive and more precise than widely used taxonomic classifier ...[more]
