Metacerberus Databases

All pre-formatted databases are present at OSF.

Database sources

Note

The KEGG database contains KOs related to Human disease. It is possible that these will show up in the results, even when analyzing microbes. eggNOG and FunGene database are coming soon. If you want a custom HMM build please let us know by email or leaving an issue.

Custom Database

To run a custom database, you need a HMM containing the protein family of interest and a metadata sheet describing the HMM required for look-up tables and downstream analysis. For the metadata information you need an ID that matches the HMM and a function or hierarchy. See example below:

Example Metadata sheet

ID

Function

HMM1

Sugarase
