Note that Unlike Kraken 1, Kraken 2 does not use an external $k$-mer counter. of Kraken databases in a multi-user system. When Kraken 2 is run against a protein database (see [Translated Search]), Hence, the amplification of 16S rRNA hypervariable regions can be used to detect microbial communities in a sample typically down to the genus level10, and species-level assignments are also possible if full-length 16S sequences are retrieved11. CAS Meanwhile, in metagenomic samples, resolving strain-level abundances is a major step in microbiome studies, as associations between strain variants and phenotype are of great interest for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. 27, 626638 (2017).

Kraken 2 is the newest version of Kraken, a taxonomic classification system using exact k-mer matches to achieve high accuracy and fast classification speeds. For the statistical analysis of the bacterial abundance data, we used compositional data analysis methods31. Kraken2 was run against a reference database containing all RefSeq bacterial and archaeal genomes (built in May 2019) with a 0.1 confidence threshold. F.B. The tools are designed to assist users in analyzing and visualizing Kraken results. database selected. Notably, among the conserved regions of the 16S gene, central regions are more conserved, suggesting that they are less susceptible to producing bias in PCR amplification12.
