MetaPhlAn is a "computational tool for profiling the composition of microbial communities (Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryotes) from metagenomic shotgun sequencing data (i.e. not 16S) with species-level. With StrainPhlAn, it is possible to perform accurate strain-level microbial profiling", according to its GitHub repository. While the software stack on our clusters does contain modules for a couple of older versions (2.2.0 and 2.8) of this software, we now expect users to install more recent versions using a Python virtual environment. Wheels are available in our wheelhouse for these more recent versions of the MetaPhlAn software: 3.0.0a1, 3.0.7 and 4.0.2.
