Functional binning using blast2lca's acc2kegg mapping

User Questions

Hi Daniel and MEGAN team,

I’m trying to use blast2lca to get the KEGG KO output. I’m using my own mapping file (based off/generated from the KEGG linker files).

Below’s

  1. my command,
  2. tabbed blast (from diamond) and
  3. the mapping file (self generated)

I’ve relaxed the topPercent parameter --topPercent to 100.

As you can see the Diamond alignment subject’s IDs are in the mapping file. However I do not get any assignment. What is the problem here, did i miss something?

I’m using MEGAN CE 6.6.0 (2016) blast2lca.

Blast2lca Input cmd

./blast2lca -i input.m8 -f BlastTab -o output.tax -ko output.ko -k -a2kegg acc2ko -v  -top 100

the contents of input.m8

Please remove the .1 suffixes from the mapping file, the parser can’t deal with them (it considers a dot to be a word boundary_
Or, alternatively, provide the file as a “synonyms” mapping file (but mapping using this mechanism is less efficient).

got it,

thank you Daniel.
