Sorted Reads Files

The taxonomic profiling tool can sort reads based on their assigned position in the databases (figure 6.14): database matches, host matches, and unclassified reads.

Figure 6.14: Database matches table.

The resulting files are sequence lists that can be visualized as table. The host and database matches tables include a value called Mapping score, and calculated for each read at their assigned positions (see http://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clcgenomicsworkbench/current/index.php?manual=Mapping_parameters.html). In addition, the database matches table provide the Assigned taxonomy for the read, taxonomy that was assigned to the read by mapping it to the database.
