Metagenomic binning is the step in building metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) when sequences predicted to originate from same genome are automatically grouped together. The most widely-used methods for reference-independent, operating de novo and enable recovery of previously unsampled clades. However, they do not leverage knowledge existing databases. Here, we introduce SemiBin, an open source tool that uses deep siamese neural networks implement a semi-supervised approach, i.e. SemiBin...
