POSMM: an efficient alignment-free metagenomic profiler that complements alignment-based profiling

Abstract We present here POSMM (pronounced ‘Possum’), Python-Optimized Standard Markov Model classifier, which is a new incarnation of the Markov model approach to metagenomic sequence analysis. Built on the top of a rapid Markov model based classification algorithm SMM, POSMM reintroduces high sens...
