Abstract

The Flexible Taxonomy Database framework provides a method for modification and merging official and custom taxonomic databases to create improved databases. Using such databases will increase accuracy and precision of existing methods to classify sequence reads. Source code is freely available at https://github.com/FOI-Bioinformatics/flextaxd and installable through Bioconda.
