MEGAN6

MEGAN6 is a software tool that performs a taxonomic and functional analysis of metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, metaproteomic, and rRNA data. It is an upgrade of MEGAN, which is a popular taxonomic analysis program, and it addresses the challenge of data integration by providing an integrated approach to the taxonomic and functional analysis of different types of data.

With MEGAN6, users can analyze data using the NCBI taxonomy for taxonomic analysis and the SEED classification of subsystems and functional roles or the KEGG classification of pathways and enzymes for functional analysis. It is particularly useful for environmental sequence analysis as it provides a unified approach that addresses both the taxonomic and functional aspects of data integration.
