GMApallen

GMApallen is a software tool designed for the analysis of genomic data, particularly in the context of metagenomics. It is an open-source project developed by the Tettelin Lab at the University of California, Berkeley. The tool is named after its creator, George M. Tettelin, and is used to analyze the abundance and diversity of microbial communities from metagenomic datasets.

GMApallen operates by mapping metagenomic reads to a reference database of microbial genomes. It uses a probabilistic

One of the key features of GMApallen is its ability to handle large datasets efficiently. It is
