kronaextract

kronaextract extracts taxonomic read lists and BLAST offsets from Krona XML files (e.g., generated by rankoptimizer) to support targeted analysis of high-throughput next-generation DNA sequencing datasets.


Key Features:

  • Data extraction: Extracts lists of reads and their corresponding BLAST offsets for specified taxonomic names from Krona XML files.
  • Galaxy integration: Provides integration with the Galaxy Project.
  • Large-scale data handling: Handles extraction from large Krona XML files produced by next-generation DNA sequencing workflows.

Scientific Applications:

  • Microbial community analysis: Identifies reads associated with specific taxa within complex samples using Krona XML outputs.
  • Metagenomic studies: Improves targeted taxon-level analysis by extracting reads and BLAST offsets for downstream validation or reanalysis.
  • Ecological and evolutionary research: Provides taxon-level read and offset data to support studies of species distribution and abundance.

Methodology:

Parses Krona XML files and extracts read lists and BLAST offsets based on user-specified taxonomic names or criteria.
