Hi,
i’m a new mothur user, metagenomic intern.
I’ve started an intership in a lab and my boss told me to use mothur in order to analyze DNA sequences obtained by 454/pyrosequencing.
He doesn’t want me to look at 16S because it has already been done.
I have to study all the DNA that we’ve got, a nice 300Go stack of metagenomic data.
Kind of like the GOS project (link below)
The problem is that i only found tutorials for 16S analysis.
My question is: can I do this using mothur?
Thanks,
François
