# Metagenome-Atlas
[](https://anaconda.org/bioconda/metagenome-atlas)

Metagenome-atlas is a easy-to-use metagenomic pipeline based on snakemake. It handles all steps from QC, Assembly, Binning, to Annotation.

You can start using atlas with three commands:
```sh
mamba install -y -c bioconda -c conda-forge metagenome-atlas={latest_version}
atlas init --db-dir databases path/to/fastq/files
atlas run all
```where `{latest_version}` should be replaced by [](https://anaconda.org/bioconda/metagenome-atlas)

Here are some ideas I work or want to work on when I have time. If you want to contribute or have some ideas let me know via a feature request issue.
- Optimized MAG recovery (e.g. [Spacegraphcats](https://github.com/spacegraphcats/spacegraphcats))
- Integration of viruses/plasmid that live for now as [extensions](https://github.com/metagenome-atlas/virome_atlas)
- Add statistics and visualisations as in [atlas_analyze](https://github.com/metagenome-atlas/atlas_analyze)
- Implementation of most rules as snakemake wrapper
- Cloud execution
- Update to new Snakemake version and use cool reports.
