MetaBinG

is an ultra-fast metagenomic sequence classification system using graphic processing units (GPUs). The accuracy of MetaBinG is comparable to the best existing systems and it can classify a million of 454 reads within ten minutes, which is more than 300 times faster than existing systems.

Download MetaBinG: MetaBinG_v0.4_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz

Untar the file:
tar -xzf MetaBinG_vxxx.tar.gz
where xxx stands the version.

Test Run:
./MetaBinG test.fasta

Check the README file in the package for more details.
