A somewhat major bug fix: the de-multiplexing script for Ion Torrent data was not removing reverse primer correctly. This has been fixed.
- complete re-write of the `ufits filter` script to now normalize counts per number of reads in each sample prior to running the `--index_bleed` filter to remove noise from the dataset.
- `ufits filter` script now can deal with synthetic mock spike-in control (set as default). Calculates index-bleed in both directions and smartly filters OTU table. (email me for details on synthetic mock if you are interested).
- Taxonomy database was updated to most recent UNITE release
- Taxonomy database installation method is changed, now downloads pre-formatted databases for ITS1, ITS2, and FULL length ITS sets.
- Updated UCHIME reference sequences
- New functionality for `ufits taxonomy` that allows for removal of non-fungal OTUs with the `--only_fungi` argument
- Added script for sub-sampling or rarefaction of data prior to clustering
- Added script for selecting or removing samples from a de-mulitplexed data set
- Added script to append an OTU table to meta data file
- Added support for FUNGuilds functional annotation of taxonomy in OTU table.
