Cross-reference of Genomic Taxonomy

About

xgTaxonomy is a new method for metagenomic classification that utilizes data compression algorithms, known as compressors, to classify genomic sequences. Our two-step evaluation process shows that this approach outperforms existing methods in terms of accuracy and reliability. Additionally, combining features from multiple compressors improves classification accuracy by 26,22%. This method offers a promising strategy for improving the accuracy and reliability of metagenomic classification and provides insights into the statistical and algorithmic nature of genomic data.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Git
  • Docker and Docker-compose (if using the Docker option)

Download Project

Get xgTaxonomy project using:

git clone https://github.com/bioinformatics-ua/xgTaxonomy.git
cd xgTaxonomy/

Using Docker

To perform installation correctly, docker and docker compose must be installed in the system (see https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/).

Then, follow these instructions:

git clone https://github.com/bioinformatics-ua/xgTaxonomy.git
cd xgTaxonomy
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d && docker exec -it xgTaxonomy bash && docker-compose down

Install Compressors

Give run Install Compressors for Benchmark:

bash install_compressors.sh;

Result Replication

To run the pipeline and obtain all the Reports in the folder reports, use the following commands.

Download sequences I

For obtaining random sequences for baseline test performance run:

cd src/
python3 getSampleSequences.py

Baseline test

For baseline compression test run:

cd src/
python3 compress_baseline.py

Download sequences II

For obtaining random sequences for taxonomic classification run:

cd src/
python3 getDatabaseSequences.py
