Description

Article presents POSMM, Python-Optimized Standard Markov Model classifier, which is a new incarnation of the Markov model approach to metagenomic sequence analysis. The authors claim that by combining POSMM with ultrafast classifiers such as Kraken2, their complementary strengths can be leveraged to produce higher overall accuracy in metagenomic sequence classification than by either as a standalone classifier. POSMM is a user-friendly and highly adaptable tool designed for broad use by the metagenome scientific community.

Notes

Abstract: We present here POSMM (pronounced ‘Possum’), Python-Optimized Standard Markov Model classifier, which is a new incarnation of the Markov model approach to metagenomic sequence analysis. Built on the top of a rapid Markov model based classification algorithm SMM, POSMM reintroduces high sensitivity associated with alignment-free taxonomic classifiers to probe whole genome or metagenome datasets of increasingly prohibitive sizes. Logistic regression models generated and optimized using the Python sklearn library, transform Markov model probabilities to scores suitable for thresholding. Featuring a dynamic database-free approach, models are generated directly from genome fasta files per run, making POSMM a valuable accompaniment to many other programs. By combining POSMM with ultrafast classifiers such as Kraken2, their complementary strengths can be leveraged to produce higher overall accuracy in metagenomic sequence classification than by either as a standalone classifier. POSMM is a user-friendly and highly adaptable tool designed for broad use by the metagenome scientific community.
