The following tools are compatible with both Kraken 1 and Kraken 2. can be done with the command: The --threads option is also helpful here to reduce build time. Hence, an in-house Python program was written in order to identify the variable region(s) present in each read. The microbiome analysis used three samples from Taur et al.8, and the pathogen identification used ten samples from Li et al.9, all of which can be found on NCBI with their SRA IDs.

Indexes for tools in the Kraken suite, including the indexes used in this protocol, are made freely available on Amazon Web Services thanks to the AWS Public Dataset Program.

We realize the standard database may not suit everyone's needs. The gut microbiome has a fundamental role in human health and disease.
