Workflow diagrams of the components of the DOE JGI Metagenome Workflow. (a) Assembly, which produces assembled contigs and an alignment of reads to assembled contigs. qc, quality control. (b) Feature prediction, which produces features in general feature format (GFF), genes in FASTA nucleic acid (FNA) format, and proteins in FASTA amino acid (FAA) format. (c) Functional annotation, which produces product name assignments. (d) Taxonomic annotation, which produces contig-level phylogenetic assignment. (e) Binning, which produces high- and medium-quality genome bins.
