This is done by using a reference set of full-length ribosomal RNA sequences .I database.fa for which taxonomies .I database.tax are known, and for which a set of high quality OTU clusters has been previously generated. For each read, the best guess and correspoding confidence in the assignment is shown at each taxonomic and OTU level. .SH OPTIONS .IP -nthreads Number of threads to run per node .IP -tophits Number of best matches to keep for full alignment .IP -topotus Number of sequence cluster representatives to use from which to recruit the top hits for full alignment .SH AUTHORS Joao F.
