[Kraken2](https://ccb.jhu.edu/software/kraken2/) is a taxonomic classification tool that uses k-mer matches paired with a lowest common ancestory (LCA) algorithm to classify species reads. [Bracken](https://ccb.jhu.edu/software/bracken/) is a statistical method to generate abundance estimates based off of the Kraken2 output. These algorithms are run on unaligned sequences to detect potential contamination of samples. MultiQC reports the top 5 taxon members detected at the level of classification used for Bracken, with toggles available for higher taxonomic levels. If Bracken is skipped, MultiQC will report the top 5 species detected by Kraken2.

These algorithms are run on unaligned sequences to detect potential contamination of samples. MultiQC reports the top 5 taxon members detected at the level of classification used for Bracken, with toggles available for higher taxonomic levels. Because MultiQC no longer has a separate Bracken module, results for Bracken will appear under the Kraken heading in the MultiQC report. If Bracken is skipped, MultiQC will report the top 5 species detected by Kraken2.
