`metaGEM` is a Snakemake workflow that integrates an array of existing bioinformatics and metabolic modeling tools, for the purpose of predicting metabolic interactions within bacterial communities of microbiomes. From whole metagenome shotgun datasets, metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) are reconstructed, which are then converted into genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) for *in silico* simulations. Additional outputs include abundance estimates, taxonomic assignment, growth rate estimation, pangenome analysis, and eukaryotic MAG identification.
## Try it now
You can set up and use `metaGEM` on the cloud by following along the google colab notebook.
[](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1I1S8AoGuJ9Oc2292vqAGTDmZcbnolbuj#scrollTo=awiAaVwSF5Fz)
Please note that google colab does not provide the computational resources necessary to fully run `metaGEM` on a real dataset. This notebook demonstrates how to set up and use `metaGEM` by perfoming the first steps in the workflow on a toy dataset.
## Installation
You can set up `metaGEM` on your cluster with just one line of code
```
git clone https://github.com/franciscozorrilla/metaGEM.git && cd metaGEM && rm -r .git && bash env_setup.sh
```
Congratulations, you can now start using `metaGEM`. Verify your installation by using the `check` task:
```
bash metaGEM.sh --task check
```
Please consult the setup page in the wiki for further configuration instructions.

## Tutorial
`metaGEM` can be used to explore your own gut microbiome sequencing data from at-home-test-kit services such as [unseen bio](https://unseenbio.com/). The following tutorial showcases the `metaGEM` workflow on two unseenbio samples.

## Workflow
### Core
1. Quality filter reads with [fastp](https://github.com/OpenGene/fastp)
2. Assembly with [megahit](https://github.com/voutcn/megahit)
3. Draft bin sets with [CONCOCT](https://github.com/BinPro/CONCOCT), [MaxBin2](https://sourceforge.net/projects/maxbin2/), and [MetaBAT2](https://sourceforge.net/projects/maxbin2/)
4. Refine & reassemble bins with [metaWRAP](https://github.com/bxlab/metaWRAP)
5. Taxonomic assignment with [GTDB-tk](https://github.com/Ecogenomics/GTDBTk)
6. Relative abundances with [bwa](https://github.com/lh3/bwa) and [samtools](https://github.com/samtools/samtools)
7. Reconstruct & evaluate genome-scale metabolic models with [CarveMe](https://github.com/cdanielmachado/carveme) and [memote](https://github.com/opencobra/memote)
8. Species metabolic coupling analysis with [SMETANA](https://github.com/cdanielmachado/smetana)
### Bonus
9. Growth rate estimation with [GRiD](https://github.com/ohlab/GRiD), [SMEG](https://github.com/ohlab/SMEG) or [CoPTR](https://github.com/tyjo/coptr)
10. Pangenome analysis with [roary](https://github.com/sanger-pathogens/Roary)
11. Eukaryotic draft bins with [EukRep](https://github.com/patrickwest/EukRep) and [EukCC](https://github.com/Finn-Lab/EukCC)
## Active Development
If you want to see any new additional or alternative tools incorporated into the `metaGEM` workflow please raise an issue or create a pull request. Snakemake allows workflows to be very flexible, so adding new rules is as easy as filling out the following template and adding it to the Snakefile:
```
rule package-name:
input:
rules.rulename.output
output:
f'{config["path"]["root"]}/{config["folder"]["X"]}/{{IDs}}/output.file'
message:
"""
Helpful and descriptive message detailing goal of this rule/package.
"""
shell:
"""
# Well documented command line instructions go here
# Load conda environment
set +u;source activate {config[envs][package]};set -u;
# Run tool
package-name -i {input} -o {output}
"""
```
