MOSHPIT paper is out!

The Rachis team proudly presents our latest paper: MOSHPIT: Accessible, reproducible metagenome data science on the QIIME 2 framework!

As some of you probably have already seen, MOSHPIT is our "new" distribution for whole-metagenome sequencing data analysis, all within the Rachis ecosystem. It allows you to perform both, read-based and assembly-based analysis, and is fully compatible with the existing plugins that you already know and love.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was involved in this big multi-year effort - from ideating and code development to testing and tutorial writing. It's been a long and productive journey, and we are not stopping here! MOSHPIT is under active development and we continue delivering new features in every release, so stay tuned for more!

In the meantime, if you haven't tried it yet, head over to our documentation where you will find installation instructions, usage examples, and focused tutorials to get you started quickly.

As always, we are very open to any feedback you may have - please post on the forum in case of any questions and/or suggestions!

Cheers,
Michal
