  Description     : set of programs specifically designed for analyzing NGS 
data in a DNA metabarcoding contex

The OBITools package is a set of programs specifically designed for analyzing 
NGS data in a DNA metabarcoding context, taking into account taxonomic 
information.
OBITools enrich the Unix command line interface with a set of new commands 
dedicated to NGS data processing. Most of them have a name starting with the 
obi prefix. They automatically recognize the input file format amongst most of 
the standard sequence file formats (i.e. fasta, fastq, EMBL, and GenBank 
formats). Nevertheless, options are available to enforce some format 
specificity such as the encoding system used in fastq files for quality codes. 
Most of the basic Unix commands have their OBITools equivalent (e.g. obihead vs 
head, obitail vs tail, obigrep vs grep), which is convenient for scientists 
familiar with Unix. The main difference between any standard Unix command and 
its OBITools counterpart is that the treatment unit is no longer the text line 
but the sequence record. As a sequence record is more complex than a single 
text line, the OBITools programs have many supplementary options compared to 
their Unix equivalents.
