BEBaC user manual

BEBaC [1] (Bayesian estimation of bacterial communities) is a software devoting to estimate bacterial communities from large amounts of deep sequencing data of 16S rRNA gene. A dataset which contains 4K~100K reads of length 400bp~2000bp is suitable for BEBaC. Larger datasets are also possible, but we have not tested on these datasets. Here “reads” means DNA sequences produced by a sequencing machine.
