The aim of this workflow is to handle the routine part of shotgun metagenomics data processing on Galaxy Australia. The workflow is using the tools MetaPhlAn2 for taxonomy classification and HUMAnN2 for functional profiling of the metagenomes. The workflow is based on the Galaxy Training tutorial 'Analyses of metagenomics data - The global picture' (Saskia Hiltemann, Bérénice Batut) https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/metagenomics/tutorials/general-tutorial/tutorial.html#shotgun-metagenomics-data. The how-to guide is available here: https://vmurigneu.github.io/shotgun_howto_ga_workflows/
