Introduction

RTAX provides rapid taxonomic assignments of paired-end reads using a consensus algorithm.

Usage

module load bioinformatics/rtax/0.983

Installation

RTAX consists of a set of perl scripts and a shell script ("rtax") to wire
them together. No compilation is needed; just extract the package to a
convenient location.

The perl scripts must remain in the "scripts" directory below the "rtax" shell
script, but the latter can be symlinked anywhere for convenience. e.g: Place in
/sw/bioinformatics/rtax/0.983/ and then symlink the script into your path
(e.g., "ln -s /sw/bioinformatics/rtax/0.983/rtax /usr/local/bin").
