| Abstract Detail
Mycology Liber, Julian Aaron [1], Bonito, Gregory [2], Benucci, Gian Maria Niccolo [2]. CONSTAX2: Improved taxonomic classification of environmental DNA markers. CONSTAX - the CONSensus TAXonomy classifier - was developed for accurate and reproducible taxonomic annotation of fungal rDNA amplicon sequences and is based upon a consensus approach of RDP, SINTAX, and UTAX algorithms. CONSTAX2 extends these features to classify prokaryotes as well as eukaryotes and incorporates BLAST-based classifiers to reduce classification errors. Additionally, CONSTAX2 implements a conda-installable, command line tool with improved classification metrics, faster training, multithreading support, capacity to incorporate external taxonomic databases, new isolate matching and high-level taxonomy tools, replete with documentation and example tutorials.
