In addition to the well-know RDP Classifier, SeqMatch,  and ProbeMatch, it includes newer tools including FrameBot, a frameshift co rrection and nearest neighbor assignment tool and Xander, our latest gene-targeted metagenomic assembler tool. It also includes many important utility functions useful in microbial ecological analysis. Most of these tools have been recently published and detailed tutorials or workflow are provided on GitHub.
