Importing NCBI Taxonomy IDs

Many bioinformatics tools provide classifications based on the NCBI Taxonomy. These classifications can be imported via tab-separated files listing taxonomy IDs.

Example file:

#queryID  #taxID  #score
query1    9606    0.9
query2    9534    0.8

  Example import:

ktImportTaxonomy sample1.tsv sample2.tsv

  The three columns, by default, are query-ID, taxonomy-ID, and score (optional), but these can be changed using -t, -s, and -m. Commented lines (starting with #) will be ignored. Run ktImportTaxonomy with no input to see full usage information.
