get.majority.taxo {sidier}

Get majority taxonomy for a sequence

Description

Given filtered taxonomy of multiple BLAST hits, provides the consensus taxonomy for every query sequence

Usage

get.majority.taxo(filtered.taxo,verbose=TRUE)

Arguments

filtered.taxo

a data.frame containing (at least) the output of a BLAST analysis and the filtered taxonomy for every subject sequence. This format is produced by filter.whole.taxo

verbose

a logical, if TRUE details on the calculation are shown.

Details

The expected input data.frame must contain information about filtered taxonomy for every subject sequence and a unique code for every query sequence.

Nonmeaningful names (including "unidentified", "sp", "low_pident") are coerced to "Uninformative".

The output dataframe includes a column with a summary of the alternative classifications found for taxonomy at every level. For example: "10|10|10|10|10|10|9+1" means that all 10 matches have identical taxonomy up to genus, but two species has been identified, being the taxonomy of 9 of the subject sequences identical and different from the remaining subject.

Value

a data.frame with the followin columns: "qseqid", the unique identifier of every original query sequence; seven columns containing the filtered taxonomy ("kingdom.final", "phylum.final", "class.final", "order.final", "family.final", "genus.final", and "species.final"); "values": The frequency of the different taxonomical names provides for every level, separated by "|" (see details).
