💅 KTGETTAXIDFROMACC(1) — user commands, bestie edition

okay so bestie, welcome to ktGetTaxIDFromAcc (section 1 of the manual, she's a real one) — the little tool that lets you explore hierarchical metagenomic data with zoomable pie charts 🥧✨ no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ktGetTaxIDFromAcc — explore hierarchical metagenomic data with zoomable pie charts. that's her. that's the whole vibe. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

🦋 Description:

she translates accessions (the ones you pass as arguments or the ones sliding in from <stdin>) into NCBI taxonomy IDs. iconic behaviour fr fr.

the accession can be bare, or it can live in the fourth field of pipe notation — like "gi|12345|xx|ABC123.1|" — and she'll just ignore fasta tag markers like [">"] like they're not even there. 💅

inputs that are bare numbers? she assumes they're already taxonomy IDs and preserves them, periodt. no notes.

and accessions that have no taxonomy IDs in the database will return 0. 😭 she's trying her best.

🎀 Usage:

ktGetTaxIDFromAcc [options] [acc1 acc2 ...] [< acc_list] > tax_ID_list

Command line example:

ktGetTaxIDFromAcc A00001.1 A00002.1

Fasta tag example:

grep ">" sequence | ktGetTaxIDFromAcc > sequence.tax

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• -p — prepend tax IDs to the original lines (separated by tabs). putting them first, main character energy 💖
• -a — append tax IDs to the original lines (separated by tabs). putting them last, the soft launch of tax IDs 🌸
• -f <integer> — field of accessions. [Default: '1'] — tell her which field to look at, she's not a mind reader (unless... 👀)
• -tax <string> — path to directory containing a taxonomy database to use. point her at the database directory, bestie, and she'll go 🏃‍♀️💨

and that's the whole page, no crumbs left behind 🫶
