Robust taxonomic classification of uncharted microbial sequences and bins with CAT and BAT

Abstract Current-day metagenomics analyses increasingly involve de novo taxonomic classification of long DNA sequences and metagenome-assembled genomes. Here, we show that the conventional best-hit approach often leads to classifications that are too specific, especially when the sequences represent...
