Overview

About

Maintained by Dylan CatlettCRAN page ↗

Creates ensemble taxonomic assignments of amplicon sequencing data in R using outputs of multiple taxonomic assignment algorithms and/or reference databases. Includes flexible algorithms for mapping taxonomic nomenclatures onto one another and for computing ensemble taxonomic assignments.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)

install.packages("ensembleTax", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-ensembletax

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make
