AB - k-SLAM is a highly e cient algorithm for the characterisa-tion of metagenomic data. Unlike other ultra-fast metage-nomic classi ers, full sequence alignment is performed allow-ing for gene identi cation and variant calling in addition toaccurate taxonomic classi cation. Ak-mer based methodprovides greater taxonomic accuracy than other classi ersand a three orders of magnitude speed increase over align-ment based approaches. The use of alignments to nd vari-ants and genes along with their taxonomic origins enablesnovel strains to be characterised. k-SLAM's speed allows afull taxonomic classi cation and gene identi cation to betractable on modern large datasets. A pseudo-assemblymethod is used to increase classi cation accuracy by up to40% for species which have high sequence homology withintheir genus.
