DESMAN: a new tool for de novo extraction of strains from metagenomes
Abstract We introduce DESMAN for De novo Extraction Golf Net of Strains from Metagenomes.Large multi-sample metagenomes are being generated but strain variation results in fragmentary co-assemblies.Current algorithms can bin contigs into metagenome-assembled genomes but are unable to resolve strain-level variation.DESMAN identifies variants in core
