Updated dbcan dependencies resulted in less cazy being detected with the hotpep tool.

[Rob-murphys]

I just updated the dependencies for dbcan today to what is on the readme document and re ran on the same set of genomes and everything worked fine. But upon inspection of the hotpep outputs there is now only 82 vs 201 prior to the update. What would have resulted in such a big difference?

Could you show me the previous database and dependencies you used? Thanks a lot. And if you can provide your command it will be fine.

This is an old issue so I don't know what the original version was, but today I upgraded from 2.0.6 to 2.0.11 and it did not decrease hotpep detection in my organism

tail -n +2 dbcan_results_2.0.11/cazyHotpep.out | cut -f 1 | sort | cut -c-2 | uniq -c
     12 AA

Only superfamilies I "lost" results were for AA, and this was not straightforward because the classifications are a bit different

egrep "^AA" dbcan_results_2.0.11/cazyHotpep.out | cut -f 1,2 | sort | uniq -c | sed "1 i count\tCAZy_fam\tPPR_subfam" -
count   CAZy_fam        PPR_subfam
      1 AA1     4
      1 AA3     2
      2 AA3     8
      2 AA6     1
      5 AA6     2
      1 AA6     4
dbcan_results_2.0.6/cazyHotpep.out
count   CAZy_fam        PPR_subfam
      1 AA1     2
      3 AA3     1
      1 AA3     3
      2 AA6     3
      4 AA6     5
      4 AA8     3

And they're a bit different for other superfamilies too, really just at the subfamily level though...

egrep "^CE" dbcan_results_2.0.11/cazyHotpep.out | cut -f 1,2 | sort | uniq -c | sed "1 i count\tCAZy_fam\tPPR_subfam" -
