Bac2Feature is an easy-to-use interface to predict bacterial and archaeal traits from 16S rRNA gene sequences.
We integrates three representative methods for trait prediction and provided them with systematic evaluations for avoiding spurious predictions. See our paper for details.

Predicted traits by Bac2Feature

Currently, Bac2Feature predicts 8 continuous and 10 categorical traits listed below.

  • Continuous traits
    • Doubling time (log_10 hours)
    • Growth temperature (Degrees C)
    • Optimum growth temperature (Degrees C)
    • Genome size (Base Pair)
    • GC content (Percentage)
    • Coding genes, rRNA 16S genes, tRNA genes (Number)
  • Categorical traits (All traits are predicted yes (=1) or no (=0).)
    • Gram stain
    • Sporulation
    • Anaerobes
    • Motility
    • Temperature range
      • Mesophiles
      • Thermophiles
    • Cell shape
      • Bacillus
      • Coccus
      • Filament
