MetaQuery

MetaQuery is a web application that enables rapid and quantitative analysis of specific genes in the human gut microbiome. The software returns the estimated abundance of the query genes across publicly available fecal metagenomes from American, European, and Chinese individuals, and performs downstream statistical analyses to identify features associated with gene variation, including other query genes, taxa, clinical variables, and average genome size. The availability and speed of MetaQuery make it a tool to democratize metagenomics research.
