MetaX

MetaX is a novel tool for linking peptide sequences with taxonomic and functional information in Metaproteomics. We introduce the Operational Taxon-Function (OTF) concept to explore microbial roles and interactions ("who is doing what and how") within ecosystems.

MetaX also features statistical modules and plotting tools for analyzing peptides, taxa, functions, proteins, and taxon-function contributions across groups.

abstract

Operational Taxon-Function (OTF)

Operational Taxon-Function (OTF) Unit: An operational unit which represents the association between specific taxa and biological functions.

OTF_Structure

OTFs Network

Linking Taxa and Functions in different levels of the hierarchy, and different functional categories. e.g., Species-KO, Genus-CAZy, Phylum-EC, etc.

  • OTF

e.g. The KEGG Pathways linked to Roseburia hominis

  • tf_link_net_2
