Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The functional and taxonomic analysis is the critical step in understanding the interspecies interaction within the microbial communities. Currently, these types of analysis are run independently, which makes interpretation of the results hard and error-prone. Here we present ASAR (Advanced metagenomic Sequence Analysis in R) Database, the interactive tool and the databases for storage and exploratory analysis of the metagenomic sequencing data along three dimensions: taxonomy, function, and environmental conditions.
