3.1.0
MetaPhlAn 3.1 represents a moderate update to the bioBakery 3 software and databases. This update is based on improvements in our ability to align NCBI-sourced microbial genomes and their constituent genes to UniProt resources alongside additional removal of low-quality species (see PMID:33944776 for the definition of “low-quality species”).
What has changed in version 3.1:
- 433 low-quality species were removed from the MetaPhlAn 3.1 marker database and 2,680 species were added (for a new total of 15,766; a 17% increase).
- Marker genes for a subset of existing bioBakery 3 species were also revised.
- Most existing bioBakery 3 species pangenomes were updated with revised or expanded gene content.
- MetaPhlAn 3.1 software has been updated to work with revised marker database.
