MetaSort untangles metagenome assembly by reducing microbial community complexity

Currently available metagenomic data analysis relies on reference genomes. Here, the authors describe a newde novometagenomic assembly method, metaSort, that constructs bacterial genomes from metagenomic samples to reduce microbial community complexity while increasing genome recovery and assembly.
