Efficient assembly-free meta’omics by leveraging isolates
II III IV V I II III IV V II III II I IV I I II III II V IV V V Species pan-genomes 7,677 containing 18.6 million gene clusters Core genes Marker genes NCBI isolate genomes Archaea 300 Bacteria 12,926 Viruses 3,565 Eukaryota 112 Open reading frames 49.0 million total genes Nicola Segata RepoPhlAn ChocoPhlAn
3
PanPhlAn: the approach
mapping Read Metagenomic sample Gene coverage Microbial pangenomes Cluster to Gene families Pan-gene family coverage Abundance-sorted pan-gene families Coverage Multi-copy genes Plateau of genes from one metagenome’s strain Absent genes
4
PanPhlAn for “meta-epidemiology”
Metagenomes from [Loman et al., 2013]
5
Strain-level tracking with other species
Prevotella copri
6
Synthetic and semi-synthetic validation

Most bugs are dominated by one stable strain
