Is OMA suitable for prediction of GO function in metagenomic datasets?

Question

Greetings,

Recently I have been trying OMA to predict GO functions. I was wondering if using OMA is suitable for metagenomic datasets for the same purpose of prediction GO function similar to how EggNOG or Interpro can be used.

Hi crl111222,

Indeed you can used OMA to predict GO function on your metagenomics dataset.

• You can use the GO prediction online tool in OMA (https://omabrowser.org/oma/functions/) to infers GO annotation for your whole genomes at once

Or

• Infer orthology between your genomes using the OMA standalone tool (https://omabrowser.org/standalone/ for more informations) that will also provides GOA predictions.

If you have any problems using the tools please read https://omabrowser.org/oma/tools/ or contact us again.
