Build Functional Profile

To compute the number of reads in a sample mapping to regions involved with Pfam domains, or BLAST or DIAMOND hits, you can run the Build Functional Profile tool by going to:

        Toolbox | Microbial Genomics Module (Image mgm_folder_closed_flat_16_h_p) | Functional Analysis (Image functional_analysis_folder_closed_16_n_p) | Build Functional Profile (Image build_functional_profile_16_n_p)

In the first wizard (figure 13.11), select the read mapping for which you want to build the functional profile.

The parameters that can be set are seen in figure 13.12:

You can then select which output elements should be generated figure 13.13.

The resulting functional abundance tables store the number of reads corresponding to each Pfam domain, GO term, EC number, best BLAST hit or best DIAMOND hit.
