Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States — PICRUSt 1.1.4 documentation (original) (raw)

PICRUSt (pronounced “pie crust”) is a bioinformatics software package designed to predict metagenome functional content from marker gene (e.g., 16S rRNA) surveys and full genomes.

PICRUSt is freely available under the GPL.

Please note that PICRUSt2 is now available. PICRUSt2 is a re-written version of PICRUSt and is available here. We are no longer developing PICRUSt1 and we recommend users shift to PICRUSt2.

Citing PICRUSt

On this page we’ve compiled both the PICRUSt citation and links to several tools that PICRUSt is built on to make citing these various software packages easier.
