uchime-ref: Reference-based chimera filtering with vsearch.¶

Docstring:

Usage: qiime vsearch uchime-ref [OPTIONS]

  Apply the vsearch uchime_ref method to identify chimeric feature sequences.
  The results of this method can be used to filter chimeric features from the
  corresponding feature table. For additional details, please refer to the
  vsearch documentation.

Inputs:
  --i-sequences ARTIFACT FeatureData[Sequence]
                          The feature sequences to be chimera-checked.
                                                                    [required]
  --i-table ARTIFACT FeatureTable[Frequency]
                          Feature table (used for computing total feature
                          abundances).                              [required]
  --i-reference-sequences ARTIFACT FeatureData[Sequence]
                          The non-chimeric reference sequences.     [required]
Parameters:
  --p-dn NUMBER           No vote pseudo-count, corresponding to the
    Range(0.0, None)      parameter n in the chimera scoring function.
                                                                [default: 1.4]
  --p-mindiffs INTEGER    Minimum number of differences per segment.
    Range(1, None)                                                [default: 3]
  --p-mindiv NUMBER       Minimum divergence from closest parent.
    Range(0.0, None)                                            [default: 0.8]
  --p-minh PROPORTION Range(0.0, 1.0, inclusive_end=True)
                          Minimum score (h). Increasing this value tends to
                          reduce the number of false positives and to decrease
                          sensitivity.                         [default: 0.28]
  --p-xn NUMBER Range(1.0, None, inclusive_start=False)
                          No vote weight, corresponding to the parameter beta
                          in the scoring function.              [default: 8.0]
  --p-threads NTHREADS    The number of threads to use for computation.
                          Passing 0 will launch one thread per CPU core.
                                                                  [default: 1]
Outputs:
  --o-chimeras ARTIFACT FeatureData[Sequence]
                          The chimeric sequences.                   [required]
  --o-nonchimeras ARTIFACT FeatureData[Sequence]
                          The non-chimeric sequences.               [required]
  --o-stats ARTIFACT      Summary statistics from chimera checking.
    UchimeStats                                                     [required]
Miscellaneous:
  --output-dir PATH       Output unspecified results to a directory
  --verbose / --quiet     Display verbose output to stdout and/or stderr
                          during execution of this action. Or silence output
                          if execution is successful (silence is golden).
  --example-data PATH     Write example data and exit.
  --citations             Show citations and exit.
  --help                  Show this message and exit.
