What problem does it solve?
Bins derived from metagenomic data often require manual curation and multi-tool QC to meet publication-ready quality. This Skill coordinates automated binning, refinement, and risk-based QC gating to produce high-quality MAGs with transparent criteria.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-binner coordination: run and optionally refine bins with tools like MetaBAT2, SemiBin2, and QuickBin to maximize recovery and purity.
- Domain-aware QC: apply CheckM2 for bacteria/archaea, EukCC for eukaryotes, and GUNC for chimerism to filter high-quality bins.
- Reproducible workflows: orchestrate inputs, binning steps, QC checks, and outputs for consistent MAG pipelines suitable for downstream analyses or publication.
- Use Case: in large-scale gut microbiome projects, quickly obtain a set of high-quality MAGs with documentation-ready QC metrics.
Quick Start
Run the workflow on your contig assemblies to generate MAG bins and pass QC gates before downstream analyses.
