NAME
ecotaxspecificity - description of ecotaxspecificity
The ecotaxspecificity command evaluates barcode resolution at different taxonomic ranks.
As inputs, it takes a sequence record file annotated with taxids in the sequence header,
and a database formated as an ecopcr database (see obitaxonomy) or a NCBI taxdump (see
NCBI ftp site).
An example of output is reported below:
Number of sequences added in graph: 284
Number of nodes in all components: 269
Number of sequences lost: 15!
rank taxon_ok taxon_total percent
order 8 8 100.00

In this example, the input sequence file contains 284 sequence records, but only 269 have
been examined, because taxonomic information was not recovered for the the 15 remaining
ones.
“Taxon_total” refers to the number of different taxa observed at this rank in the sequence
record file (when taxonomic information is available at this rank), and “taxon_ok”
corresponds to the number of taxa that the barcode sequence identifies unambiguously in
the taxonomic database. In this example, the sequence records correspond to 176 different
species, but only 35 of these have specific barcodes. “percent” is the percentage of
unambiguously identified taxa among the total number of taxa (taxon_ok/taxon_total*100).
ECOTAXSPECIFICITY SPECIFIC OPTIONS
-e INT, --errors=<INT>
Two sequences are considered as different if they have INT or more differences
(default: 1).
Example:
> ecotaxspecificity -d my_ecopcr_database -e 5 seq.fasta
This command considers that two sequences with less than 5 differences
correspond to the same barcode.
TAXONOMY RELATED OPTIONS
-d <FILENAME>, --database=<FILENAME>
ecoPCR taxonomy Database name
-t <FILENAME>, --taxonomy-dump=<FILENAME>
NCBI Taxonomy dump repository name
OPTIONS TO SPECIFY INPUT FORMAT
Restrict the analysis to a sub-part of the input file
--skip <N>
The N first sequence records of the file are discarded from the analysis and not
reported to the output file
--only <N>
Only the N next sequence records of the file are analyzed. The following sequences
in the file are neither analyzed, neither reported to the output file. This option
can be used conjointly with the –skip option.
Sequence annotated format
--genbank
Input file is in genbank format.
--embl Input file is in embl format.
fasta related format
--fasta
Input file is in fasta format (including OBITools fasta extensions).
fastq related format
--sanger
Input file is in Sanger fastq format (standard fastq used by HiSeq/MiSeq
sequencers).
--solexa
Input file is in fastq format produced by Solexa (Ga IIx) sequencers.
ecoPCR related format
--ecopcr
Input file is in ecoPCR format.
--ecopcrdb
Input is an ecoPCR database.
Specifying the sequence type
--nuc Input file contains nucleic sequences.
--prot Input file contains protein sequences.
COMMON OPTIONS
-h, --help
Shows this help message and exits.
--DEBUG
Sets logging in debug mode.
