Convert Blast result to Kraken style report - error - which TaxDB?

Question

[krakenmaken]

Hello,

I try to compare the results of Blast and Kraken for the same data set. I stumbled upon this script that converts a Blast result into a Kraken report. At least I understood it this way, because I do not speak Chinese.

Unfortunately I always get several errors and no reasonable Kraken report as a result. In these errors the word TaxDB appears again and again. Therefore I assume that I might choose the wrong file there.

Does anyone know which file exactly is meant by TaxDB in this context?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know chinese but Perl, in the section which loads the taxonomy file, it expects a TSV file with these columns:

  my ($node_id, $parent_id, $name, $rank) = @fields[0,1,2,3];

Not sure how is that generated
