 RiboTaxa is a complete pipeline to rapidly filter and reconstruct the full length SSU rRNA gene from Illumina (meta)genomic dataset and perform taxonomic classification on the reconstructed sequences.
 
 RiboTaxa takes as input singled-end or paired-end files which can be in compressed format (fastq.gz) or uncompressed format (.fastq).
