This tutorial required:

  • a computer (under Linux, Mac, Windows) with an internet connection
  • To know what a fasta or fastq (fastaq = fq) file is

Click here for fasta format description

Data in text format used to store nucleic acid sequences (such as DNA sequences) or protein sequences; may contain multiple sequences. FASTA files often start with a header line that may contain comments or other information. The rest of the file contains sequence data. Each sequence starts with a “>” symbol followed by the name of the sequence. The rest of the line describes the sequence and the remaining lines contain the sequence itself. \\Example :

  • an access to a Galaxy website server including usual tools for metagenomic analysis

- See what is the Galaxy project: Wikipedia or Official website

⇒ 3 solutions:

* Use a freely distant server

many servers are available, here a list of servers with metaG tools:
 freely): \\ \\
