Metagenomic Geolocation Using Read Signatures

We present a novel approach to the Metagenomic Geolocation Challenge based on random projection of the sample reads from each location. This approach explores the direct use of k-mer composition to characterise samples so that we can avoid the computationally demanding step of aligning reads to avai...
