ASVmaker: A New Tool to Improve Taxonomic Identifications for Amplicon Sequencing Data.

ABSTRACT: The taxonomic assignment of sequences obtained by high throughput amplicon sequencing poses a limitation for various applications in the biomedical, environmental, and agricultural fields. Identifications are constrained by the length of the obtained sequences and the computational processes employed to efficiently assign taxonomy. Arriving at a consensus is often preferable to uncertain identification for ecological purposes. To address this issue, a new tool called "ASVmaker" has been developed to facilitate the creation of custom databases, thereby enhancing the precision of specific identifications. ASVmaker is specifically designed to generate reference databases for allocating amplicon sequencing data. It uses publicly available reference data and generates specific sequences derived
