Abstract
A method includes generating, by a processor system, a graph. The graph is based at least in part on a plurality of instances in which operational taxonomic units are identified as being represented within an environment. The method can also include determining, using the processor system, that at least one instance of the plurality of instances corresponds to a false-positive identification of an operational taxonomic unit. The determining is based on the properties of the graph. The method can also include reporting the determination.
Claims20
A computer implemented method comprising:
- generating, by a processor system, a graph based at least in part on a plurality of instances in which operational taxonomic units are identified as being represented within an environment;
- determining, using the processor system, that at least one instance of the plurality of instances corresponds to a false-positive identification of an operational taxonomic unit, wherein the determining is based on the properties of the graph;
- and
- reporting the determination.
A computer system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor system communicatively coupled to the memory;
- the processor system configured to perform a method comprising:
- generating a graph based at least in part on a plurality of instances in which operational taxonomic units are identified as being represented within an environment;
- determining that at least one instance of the plurality of instances corresponds to a false-positive identification of an operational taxonomic unit, wherein the determining is based on the properties of the graph;
- and
- reporting the determination.
A computer program product for analyzing metagenomics data, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable by a processor system to cause the processor system to:
- generate, by the processor system, a graph based at least in part on a plurality of instances in which operational taxonomic units are identified as being represented within an environment;
- determine, by the processor system, that at least one instance of the plurality of instances corresponds to a false-positive identification of an operational taxonomic unit, wherein the determining is based on the properties of the graph;
- and
- report the determination.
