We have implemented two algorithms in sourmash to do this.

One, approaches based on lowest common ancestor ("LCA"), uses
taxonomic information from e.g. GenBank to classify individual k-mers,
and then infers taxonomic distributions of metagenome contents from
the presence of these individual k-mers. (This is the approach
pioneered by [Kraken](https://ccb.jhu.edu/software/kraken/) and many
other tools.) `sourmash lca` can be used to classify individual
genome bins with `classify`, or summarize metagenome taxonomy with
`summarize`. The [sourmash lca
tutorial](http://sourmash.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials-lca.html)

[sourmash lca tutorial](http://sourmash.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials-lca.html)
shows how to use the `lca classify` and `summarize` commands, and also
provides guidance on building your own database.
