| Abstract |
Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has provided us with an opportunity to analyze and evaluate the rich microbial communities present in all natural environments. The shorter reads obtained from the shortgun technology has paved the way for determining the taxonomic profile of a community by simply aligning the reads against the available reference genomes. While several computational methods are available for taxonomic profiling at the genus- and species-level, none of these methods are effective at the strain-level identification due to the increasing difficulty in detecting variation at that level. Here, we present MetaID, an alignment-free n-gram based approach that can accurately identify microorganisms at the strain level and estimate the abundance of each organism in a sample, given a metagenomic sequencing dataset. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 March 2014.
All research outputs
#15,169,543
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from BMC Genomics
#5,391
of 11,244 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#178,741
of 320,288 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Genomics
#89
of 207 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,244 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,288 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 207 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
