NAME

ktGetTaxInfo - explore hierarchical metagenomic data with zoomable pie charts

DESCRIPTION

Description:

Retrieves taxonomy information for accessions or taxonomy IDs (as arguments or the first field of <stdin>, separated by whitespace). If the input is a number, it is assumed to be a taxonomy ID; otherwise it will be considered an accession or sequence ID containing an accession in the fourth field of pipe notation (e.g. "gi|12345|xx|ABC123.1|", ignoring fasta/fastq tag markers [>,@]). If taxonomy information was not found for a given input line, the output line will be only the taxonomy ID, which will be 0 if it was looked up from an accession but not found.

Output fields are: taxID depth parent rank name

Usage:

ktGetTaxInfo [IDs ...] [< ID_list] > tax_info

Command line example:

ktGetTaxInfo A00001.1 "gi|2|emb|A00002.1|" 9606

Fasta tag example:

grep ">" sequence.fasta | ktGetTaxInfo
