HumanMycobiomeScan: A new bioinformatics tool for the characterization of the fungal fraction in metagenomic samples

Modern metagenomic analysis of complex microbial communities produces large amounts of sequence data containing information on the microbiome in terms of bacterial, archaeal, viral and eukaryotic composition. The bioinformatics tools available are mainly devoted to profiling the bacterial and viral fractions and only a few software packages consider fungi.
