HMCASM2 - Co-assembled metagenomes
Quality trimmed reads from samples from the same human host and body site across multiple visits (two or three) were concatenated and subjected to the same assembly strategy as individual samples, undergoing digital normalization followed by assembly with IDBA-UD. One multi-FASTA file containing assembled contigs is generated per 2 or 3 (depending on the number of available visits for that subject) input sample files.
