“…For protein identification, bottom‐up metaproteomics requires taxonomy‐specific peptides for microbial community identification, quantification, functional annotation, and biological classification or metabolic analysis (Zhang & Figeys, 2019b). Several bioinformatics analysis software and platforms are available, such as Unipept (Gurdeep Singh et al., 2019), MetaLab (Cheng et al., 2017), ProteoStorm (Beyter, Lin, Yu, Pieper, & Bafna, 2018), and Galaxy (Jagtap et al., 2015). Commonly used functional information databases include Cluster of Orthologous Groups (COG), Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG).…”
