TARA SAGs taxonomic profile

[zackhenny]

Hello, I see that with sylph-utils we have virus, prokaryotic, and Fungi taxonomic information, but no TARA Euk SAG/MAG metadata.tsv to run taxonomic classification on, is there file available somewhere to do this? I'm also wondering if it is possible to run a profile on some fastqs using both the GTDB and TARA euks info at the same time? Thank you!!

@zackhenny unfortunately, there is no taxonomic metadata for the TARA Euk's right now. I took a look over their paper, and I think it should be possible from their supplementary tables to get a metadata file. I'll take a look at this later.

Yes, you can profile with both GTDB and TARA at the same time. Just run

sylph profile gtdb.syldb tara_euks.syldb -1 read1.fq -2 read2.fq > results.tsv
and results.tsv will use both the databases.
