### MALT
|
||||
|
||||
[MALT](https://software-ab.cs.uni-tuebingen.de/download/malt) is a fast replacement for BLASTX, BLASTP and BLASTN, and provides both local and semi-global alignment capabilities.

<summary>Output files</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
- `malt/`
|
||||
- `<db_name>/`
|
||||
- `<sample_id>.blastn.sam`: sparse SAM file containing alignments of each hit
|
||||
- `<sample_id>.megan`: summary file that can be loaded into the [MEGAN6](https://uni-tuebingen.de/fakultaeten/mathematisch-naturwissenschaftliche-fakultaet/fachbereiche/informatik/lehrstuehle/algorithms-in-bioinformatics/software/megan6/) interactive viewer. Generated by MEGAN6 companion tool `rma2info`
|
||||
- `<sample_id>.rma6`: binary file containing all alignments and taxonomic information of hits that can be loaded into the [MEGAN6](https://uni-tuebingen.de/fakultaeten/mathematisch-naturwissenschaftliche-fakultaet/fachbereiche/informatik/lehrstuehle/algorithms-in-bioinformatics/software/megan6/) interactive viewer
|
||||
- `<sample_id>.txt.gz`: text file containing taxonomic IDs and read counts against each taxon. Generated by MEGAN6 companion tool `rma2info`
|
||||
|
||||
</details>
|
||||
|
||||
The main output of MALT is the `.rma6` file format, which can be only loaded into MEGAN and it's related tools. We provide the `rma2info` text files for improved compatibility with spreadsheet programs and other programmtic data manipulation tools, however this has only limited information compared to the 'binary' RMA6 file format (the `txt` file only contains taxonomic ID and count, whereas RMA6 has taxonomic lineage information).
|
||||
|
||||
You will only recieve the `.sam` and `.megan` files if you supply `--malt_save_reads` and/or `--malt_generate_megansummary` parameters to the pipeline.

### MetaPhlAn3
|
||||
|
||||
[MetaPhlAn3](https://github.com/biobakery/metaphlan) is a computational tool for profiling the composition of microbial communities (Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryotes) from metagenomic shotgun sequencing data (i.e. not 16S) with species-level resolution via marker genes.
|

||||
<details markdown="1">
|
||||
<summary>Output files</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
- `metaphlan3/`
|
||||
- `metaphlan3_<db_name>_combined_reports.txt`: A combined profile of all samples aligned to a given database (as generated by `metaphlan_merge_tables`)
|
||||
- `<db_name>/`
|
||||
- `<sample_id>.biom`: taxonomic profile in BIOM format
|
||||
- `<sample_id>.bowtie2out.txt`: BowTie2 alignment information (can be re-used for skipping alignment when re-running MetaPhlAn3 with different parameters)
|
||||
- `<sample_id>_profile.txt`: MetaPhlAn3 taxonomic profile including abundance estimates
|
||||
|
||||
</details>
|
||||
|
||||
The main taxonomic profiling file from MetaPhlAn3 is the `*_profile.txt` file. This provides the abundance estimates from MetaPhlAn3 however does not include raw counts by default.
