SortMeRNA is a tool designed to rapidly filter ribosomal RNA fragments
from metatranscriptomic data produced by next-generation sequencers.
The distribution includes curated ribosomal RNA databases. It is
available for download from our website, or through the open web-based
platform Galaxy. SortMeRNA was released in October 2012, and is used in
production by Genoscope (French National Center
for Sequencing) to process metatranscriptomic data.
Moreover, it has already been integrated in two published computational
pipelines (A comprehensive metatranscriptome analysis pipeline and its
validation using human small intestine microbiota datasets. M.
Leimena et al., BMC genomics, 2013)
