Importing Kraken to MEGAN5

Hello All,

I wrote quick convertor program to Kraken output to simulated blastTAB format, so MEGAN 5 can import it. (link)

This creates a four column (not 12 column) .blast file with the first two columns of interest correctly filled in.

This requires using the file my convertor generates with the synonym map feature.

I built a taxonomic tree this way, but Options --> Compute Taxonomic Profile option is not available.

Does anyone have insight into why this option is missing?

Hi Jeremy,

Would you mind sharing your convertor program? It is a great idea!
