Metagenomic indexes for use with the Slacken taxonomic classification tool
These indexes are currently what was used in our 2025 publication introducing the concept of 2-step classification and comparing Kraken2 with Slacken. We aim to update the data at least once per year, resources permitting.
There are no restrictions on the use of this data.
