New to MALT
Hey there!
I'm new to using MALT and I'm confused about the mapping files. I think I want to use accession to taxonomy (-a2taxonomy) but I don't know where I should get that mapping file or how I know if it's compatible with my version of the database I'm using (for example NCBI's nt).
I’ve found megan-nucl-Jan2021.db.zip at:
as well as nucl_gb.accession2taxid.gz at:
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/taxon...cession2taxid/
However all the examples of malt-build I’ve seen have a .bin extension for the mapping file, so I’m not sure if these would work.
I also noticed that the MALT manual says "The options -tre and -map are used to access the NCBI taxonomy, which is needed to perform a taxonomic analysis of the reads as they are aligned." in reference to the -tre $MALT/data/ncbi.tre.gz -map$MALT/data/ncbi.tre.gz options in the example, what are these files and where can I get them?
Thanks in advance for any help!
