MetaCRS: unsupervised clustering of contigs with the recursive strategy of reducing metagenomic dataset’s complexity

Abstract Background Metagenomics technology can directly extract microbial genetic material from the environmental samples to obtain their sequencing reads, which can be further assembled into contigs through assembly tools. Clustering methods of contigs are subsequently applied to recover complete...
