PICRUSt

Description

picrust website

The PICRUSt project aims to support prediction of the unobserved character states in a community of organisms from phylogenetic information about the organisms in that community. The primary application is to predict gene family abundance (e.g. the metagenome) in environmental DNA samples for which only marker gene (e.g. 16S rRNA gene) data are available.

Environment Modules

Run module spider picrust to find out what environment modules are available for this application.

Environment Variables

• HPC_PICRUST_DIR - installation directory
• HPC_PICRUST_BIN - executable directory
