* Package name : tipp Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Siavash Mirarab * URL : https://github.com/TeraTrees/TIPP * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: Python, Java Description : taxonomic identification and abundance profiling tool TIPP is a modification of SEPP for classifying query sequences (i.e. reads) using phylogenetic placement. TIPP inserts each read into a taxonomic tree and uses the insertion location to identify the taxonomic lineage of the read. The novel idea behind TIPP is that rather than using the single best alignment and placement for taxonomic identification, it uses a collection of alignments and placements and considers statistical support for each alignment and placement. TIPP can also be used for abundance estimation by computing an abundance profile on the reads binned to marker genes in a reference dataset. sepp is already packaged in Debian, and up to now, the binaries of tipp were provided by sepp. Now the sources of sepp and tipp have been separated, which is the reason for making this package. tipp will be team-maintained by Debian-med team.
