What is included in the OTU Cluster data package?
• The .fa file is a fasta file of the unique sequences used to create the clusters. • The .names is a text file specifying the additional tags that have the exact same sequence. • The .list file specifies the OTU membership – one line for each OTU width. The first item in this file is the OTU width (unique or 0.01-0.10 corresponding to 0-10%), the second is the number of OTUs, and following this is the list of OTUs. Commas separate tags within the same OTUs and tabs separate one OTU from the next. • The .otu file specifies the OTU sizes – one line for each OTU width. The first item in this file is the OTU width (unique or 0.01-0.10 corresponding to 0-10%), the second is the number of OTUs, and following is the list of OTU sizes separated by tabs. • The .tax file shows the taxonomy corresponding to the reads in the .list file for the 0.03, 0.06, and 0.10 widths. Clusters are tab-delimited and contain a list of comma-separated taxa and their counts. The lists are in order of decreasing a
