Deep learning models for bacteria taxonomic classification of metagenomic data.
Background An open challenge in translational bioinformatics is the analysis of sequenced metagenomes from various environmental samples. Of course, several studies demonstrated the 16S ribosomal RNA could be considered as a barcode for bacteria classification at the genus level, but till now it is hard to identify the correct composition of metagenomic data from RNA-seq short-read data. 16S short-read data are generated using two next generation sequencing technologies, i.e. whole genome shotgun (WGS) and amplicon (AMP); typically, the former is filtered to obtain short-reads belonging to a 16S shotgun (SG), whereas the latter take into account only some specific 16S hypervariable regions.…

Preliminary classification results. Preliminary classification results obtained training a model with a kind of input data, e.g. SG, and testing it with the other type of input data, e.g. AMP. (XLSX 9.52 kb)
