MALT

Supported Tool

MEGAN alignment tool

Description

MALT performs alignment of metagenomic reads against a database of reference sequences (such as NR, GenBank or Silva) and produces a MEGAN RMA file as output.

The MALT MultiQC module reads the header of the MALT log files and procudes three MultiQC sections:

  • A MALT summary statistics table
  • A Mappability bargraph
  • A Taxonomic assignment success bargraph
