Workflow outlining a pipeline of laboratory and bioinformatics methods required for metagenomic pathogen detection. The left side (pale blue) lists each step in the metagenomics workflow and the right side lists the tools used for each stage. Boxes on the right are color-coded to indicate the type of tool used: dark blue, laboratory method; gray, data format; green, computer software; maroon, database. BWA, Burrows-Wheeler Aligner; BLAST, Basic Local Alignment Search Tool; IMG, integrated microbial genomics; MG-RAST, Metagenomics Rapid Annotation Server.
