Rosella

Rosella is a metagenome assembled genome binning algorithm leveraging the amazing UMAP and HDBSCAN algorithms. Rosella is easy to use with a front end developed in rust. It can handle all of the mapping and coverage calculations if there aren't already coverage results available.

Compared to other binners, rosella performs about as well as metabat2 but in some situations can outperform ensemble binning algorithms like DASTool. See the below figure for the results of running rosella on the CAMI High complexity challenge dataset. DASTool was run using every listed binning algorithm EXCEPT for rosella. DASTool would only improve with the results of rosella included. Ensemble binning is still the recommended approach to generating a finalized set of high quality MAGs.
