Abstract

ABSTRACT: MAPLE is an automated system for inferring the potential comprehensive functions harbored by genomes and metagenomes. To reduce runtime in MAPLE analyzing the massive amino acid datasets of over 1 million sequences, we improved it by adapting the KEGG automatic annotation server to use GHOSTX and verified no substantial difference in the MAPLE results between the original and new implementations.
