Simulated metagenomic datasets used for determining the threshold score cutoff for taxa prediction using StrainIQ software

StrainIQ (Strain Identification and Quantification) is a novel tool that implements a new <em>n</em>-gram based algorithm for predicting and quantifying strain-level taxa from whole genome metagenomic sequencing data. To avoid the false positive prediction of by StrainIQ algorithm, we determined cutoff score for each site specific n-gram model called DSEM (DNA Signature Element Model) using positive and negative metagenomic datasets. The Figure2-datasets.zip has positive (from GI tract genomes) and negative (from non-GI tract genomes) simulated metagenomic datasets that were used for determining optimal cut-off based on GI tract DSEM.
