E-value of -1

[em9]

Hi,

I'm running phyloFlash v3.3b2 with default parameters, with the exception of -readlength. I noticed that the SSU rRNA assembly-based taxa output in the summary shows an E-value of -1. This is also the case in the test output online (https://hrgv.github.io/phyloFlash/test.phyloFlash.html).

Does this have to do with the parameters I am using, or is it in error?

Thanks!

Thanks for catching this. It's not to do with the parameters you are using. Vsearch doesn't calculate an E-value for nucleotide alignments and sets it by default to -1. We should simply drop this column in the future.
