Metagenomic sequencing has become a crucial tool for obtaining a gene catalogue of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in a microbial community. A typical metagenomic sequencing produces a large amount of data (often in the order of terabytes or more), and computational tools are indispensable for efficient processing. In particular, error correction in metagenomics is crucial for accurate and robust genetic cataloging of microbial communities. However, many existing error-correction tools take a prohibitively long time and often bottleneck the whole analysis pipeline.
