Setting the parameters

Set the correct paths to above software and databases in configs.sh

Filtering host DNA

Step 1. Align all reads to hg19 Human reference genome with BWA
./Filter_S1.sh
Step 2. Align the remaining unmapped reads to additional human genomes with BWA
./Filter_S2.sh
Step 3. Filter the remaining unmapped reads with RepearMasker
./Filter_S3.sh
Step 4. Align the remaining reads to human sequence database with BLAST
./Filter_S4.sh
Step 5. Align the remaining reads to human sequence database with MegaBLAST
./Filter_S5.sh

Microbiome profiling

Step 1. Align fully filtered reads to NCBI bacteria compelete genomes with Bowtie2
Step 2. Calculate the genome coverages to further remove false identification
Step 3. Assign the multiple mapped the reads with PathoScope
Step 4. Re-evaluate the relative abundances of microbiome
./Profiling.sh
