Multiple big files (Metagenomic sequencing) resource override

[jackjurmu17]

Hello,

I have a set of 65 metagenomic sequence assemblies (already assembled using metaspades) and I'd like to go on to the binning step. I am wondering if it is possible that metawrap can handle fastq.gz files (4-6 gb/sample) for this as I don't have the space to unzip the PE read files.

Otherwise, would you have any other recommendations for binning this kind of a massive dataset? Like just using metabat2? Or some other platform?

Thank you so much for your help,

Yes. Manually replace all ".fastq" in binning.sh with ".fastq.gz".

And you can also use TaxVamb in multi-sample mode with GPU acceleration.
