Graphical Abstract
The whole metagenOme shotgun seqUencing sTream Pipeline that is cOmprehensive and uSeful for mulTi groups experiments (OUTPOST) is a comprehensive analysis software for whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing incorporating group stratification, which encompasses 14 modules and boasts over 50 functions, distinguishing itself for its comprehensiveness when compared with 17 existing whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing (WMGS) tools. OUTPOST introduces innovative methods for multi-group experimental designs and meta-analysis-based biomarker identification.
