Megan 5 - How To Extract All Read Assignments To A Dsv

Question

[matija.sosic]

I would like to export assignment of each read to taxon_id (from NCBI tree). When I go to File -> Export -> DSV Format, and then choose format "read-name, taxon-id" I have to select some node otherwise 0 lines are written to file. Also when I collapse subtree, all assignments of a subtree are mapped to the parent node, e.g. Bacteria and real assignments are ignored.

So how do i get real assignments and for all reads? Do I have to uncollapse whole tree and then select all nodes?

ok, but isn't it the easiest to actually try what you suggest and see if it that does it?

Select Tree -> uncollapse all and then press ctrl + a to select all nodes. Having all nodes selected, File -> Export -> DSV Format will export all of them.
