Background Widespread bioinformatic resource development generates a constantly
evolving and abundant landscape of workflows and software. For analysis of the
microbiome, workflows typically begin with taxonomic classification of the microorganisms
that are present in a given environment. Additional investigation is then required to uncover
the functionality of the microbial community, in order to characterize its currently or
potentially active biological processes. Such functional analysis of metagenomic data can …
