Metagenome-atlas is a easy-to-use metagenomic pipeline based on snakemake. It handles all steps from QC, Assembly, Binning, to Annotation.

scheme of workflow

You can start using atlas with three commands:

    conda install -y -c bioconda -c conda-forge metagenome-atlas
    atlas init --db-dir databases path/to/fastq/files
    atlas run all

Developpment/Extensions

Here are some ideas I work or want to work on when I have time. If you want to contribute or have some ideas let me know via a feature request issue.

  • Optimized MAG recovery (e.g. Spacegraphcats)
  • Integration of viruses/plasmid that live for now as extensions
  • Add statistics and visualisations as in atlas_analyze
  • Implementation of most rules as snakemake wrapper
  • Cloud execution
  • Update to new Snakemake version and use cool reports.
