Prediction and analysis of metagenomic operons via MetaRon: A pipeline for prediction of Metagenome and wholegenome opeRons

Efficient regulation of bacterial genes in response to the environmental stimulus results in unique gene clusters known as operons. Lack of complete operonic reference and functional information makes the prediction of metagenomic operons a challenging task; thus, opening new perspectives on the interpretation of the host-microbe interactions.
