frogs_filters

frogs_filters filters Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) using multiple criteria to refine metagenomic datasets for downstream analysis.

Key Features:

• Multi-Criteria OTU Filtering: Applies multiple, configurable criteria to filter OTUs in metagenomic datasets.
• Galaxy Integration: Executes filtering workflows via the Galaxy execution engine on the Galaxy@Pasteur instance at Institut Pasteur.
• Programmatic API Access: Interacts with Galaxy using the Galaxy API or the Bioblend library for job submission and management.
• Computational Resource Management: Leverages the Institut Pasteur cluster for job execution and access to storage.

Scientific Applications:

• Metagenomic data analysis: Refines OTU tables to improve community composition, diversity analyses, and downstream statistical inference.
• Microbial ecology: Enables filtering strategies used in ecological assessments to adjust abundance and diversity estimates.
• Clinical microbiology: Supports OTU filtering in clinical microbiome studies for research and diagnostic investigation.

Methodology:

Communication with Galaxy via the Galaxy API or the Bioblend library to submit and manage jobs on the Galaxy@Pasteur execution engine and access cluster storage.
