Run Phyloflash with custom database?

Open whitnersyrena opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I am hoping to run Phyloflash with a different database than SILVA - specifically the PR2 database instead. I am wondering if this has been done/is possible? If so please advise!

Thanks, Syrena

Sorry for the late response You can 'hack' a third party database to the SILVA format, following instructions here: https://hrgv.github.io/phyloFlash/install.html (section 4.3) It should be possible to write a script to reformat the headers in one of the PR2 flat files to do so. We plan to improve support for custom databases in a new version, but this entails a complete rewrite and will take at least several months.
