What it does
Creates taxonomic classifications for each query in BLAST results by finding the lowest common ancestor (or by picking randomly, if specified) of "best" hits (as determined by e-value factor above). Requires a KronaTools installation (2.0 or higher) with taxonomy downloaded.
Input
Tabular BLAST results containing gi numbers. If comment lines are present, queries with no hits will be assigned to taxon -1 (consistent with MEGAN).
Example input (BLAST):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 read1 gi|211853080|gb|EQ846228.1| 97.33 150 1 3 6 154 9518999 9519146 5e-64 252 read2 gi|211853080|gb|EQ846228.1| 96.69 151 0 5 6 154 9496147 9496294 2e-62 246
Output
The output is a list of query IDs (or counts, if summarize is specified) followed by NCBI taxonomy IDs and scores. This can be used to create a Krona chart by specifying "Taxonomy ID list" as the input type. If the output is summarized, the summarized option must also be specified when creating the chart.
Example output (default):
1 (query ID) 2 (tax ID) 3 (score) read1 9606 94.34 read2 9616 32.17
Example output (summarized):
1 (count) 2 (tax ID) 3 (score) 243 9606 94.34 17 9616 32.17
