• 3CAC is a 3-Class Adjacency based Classifier designed to classify contigs in metagenome assemblies into phage, plasmid and chromosomal sequences. It uses structure of assembly graph to assist the classification.


• 3CAC was developed by Lianrong Pu and Ron Shamir.

Where is the 3CAC paper and software?

• 3CAC is available on Github.


• 3CAC paper is under review and available in bioRxiv.
