MGKOs {SQMtools}

Single Copy Phylogenetic Marker Genes from Sunagawa's group (KOs)

Description

Lists of Single Copy Phylogenetic Marker Genes. These are useful for transforming coverages or tpms into copy numbers. This is an alternative way of normalizing data in order to be able to compare functional profiles in samples with different sequencing depths.

Usage

data(MGKOs)

Format

Character vector with the KEGG identifiers for 10 Single Copy Phylogenetic Marker Genes.
