This paper highlights challenges in benchmarking metagenomic profilers due to confusion between sequence abundance and taxonomic abundance.

This paper introduces OGUs, a metagenome analysis method that uses sequence alignment hits to reference genomes for community analysis, showing better performance in predicting biological traits than taxonomic or 16S rRNA methods.

EMPress provides an interactive tool for visualizing phylogenetic trees alongside multi-omic data, enabling exploratory analyses of microbiome and metabolome datasets.
