YAMB: metagenome binning using nonlinear dimensionality reduction and density-based clustering

Summary YAMB is a novel metagenome binning tool, which uses tetranucletotide composition and average contig coverage and performs t-SNE dimensionality reduction and sequential DBSCAN data clusterization. YAMB provided with metagenomics assembly and reads may be used for straightforward metagenome binning on a recent personal computer running Linux OS. Availability and Implementation Source code of YAMB is freely available on GitHub ( https://github.com/laxeye/YAMB ), implemented in R, Perl and Bash and supported on Linux. Contact [email protected]
