Binning (metagenomics)

In metagenomics, binning is the computational process of grouping assembled contigs and assigning them to their separate genomes of origin. Binning methods can be based on either compositional sequence features (such as GC-content or tetranucleotide frequencies) or sequence read mapping coverage across samples, or both.
