MG-RAST is an open-source web application server that suggests automatic phylogenetic and functional analysis of metagenomes. It is also one of the biggest repositories for metagenomic data. The pipeline automatically produces functional assignments to the sequences that belong to the metagenome by performing sequence comparisons to databases in both nucleotide and amino-acid levels. The applications supplies phylogenetic and functional assignments of the metagenome being analysed, as well as tools for comparing different metagenomes.
This tool takes a nucleotide sequence as an entry, detects the ORF and assigns them an anotation by sequence similarity. It detects also the rRNA and tRNA. Metagenome data, assembled or not, can also be used as an input.
For people versed into coding, this tool also provides command lines.
This tool has not been updated since 2017
