Ray Meta

Ray Meta

Ray Meta is a tool for de novo assembly of metagenomes using distributed computing to enable parallel assemblies of multiple genomes. The program is connected to other useful tools part of the Ray series such as Ray Communities, which performs microbiome profiling. The program can assemble and profile numerous microbiomes in a computationally efficient manner.
