Is there any free software for in silico functional inference based on ITS (fungi) sequences?

Using data from ITS massive parallel sequencing, is it possible to do an silico functional inference similarly to what is it done to 16S rRNA gene using PICRUSt or Piphillin?

These softwares are used for bacterial functional inference, IS there available any similiar software for fungi molecular markers?

Thank you in adavance!

Hi Marta,

FUNGuild is a free, user-friendly tool that can be used for assigning fungal OTUs to their ecological guild (ectomycorrhiza, saprobe, pathogen, etc). Although it doesn’t predict the metagenome as the PICRUSt, you can use it to find functional traits based on ITS high-throughput sequencing data.

Hope this helps you.
