Inconsistent binning results are however often observed between different binning programs, likely due to the different algorithms or statistical models used. We present Binning_refiner, a pipeline that merges the results of different binning programs. Our results demonstrated that Binning_refiner can significantly reduce the contamination level of genome bins and increase the total size of contamination-free and \u2018good-quality\u2019 genome bins. Binning_refiner is thus an useful tool to improve the quality of genome bins derived from metagenomic data.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and Implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Binning_refiner is implemented in Python3 and is freely available at: https:\/\/github.com\/songweizhi\/Binning_refiner.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btx086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,10]],"date-time":"2017-02-10T10:41:40Z","timestamp":1486723300000},"page":"1873-1875","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":91,"title":["Binning_refiner: improving genome bins through the combination of different binning programs"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Wei-Zhi","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences, University of New South Wales, NSW, Australia"},{"name":"Centre for Marine Bio-Innovation, University of New South Wales, NSW, Australia"}]},{"given":"Torsten","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Marine Bio-Innovation, University of New South Wales, NSW, Australia"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020205480839200_btx086-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"533","DOI":"10.1038\/nbt.2579","article-title":"Genome sequences of rare, uncultured bacteria obtained by differential coverage binning of multiple metagenomes","volume":"31","author":"Albertsen","year":"2013","journal-title":"Nat.
