NINJA-OPS v1.5.0

• New OTU compaction options (now default). Now breaks ties between equally good reference matches deterministically instead of at random (pools all equally good matches into single OTU id). Please consider carefully whether this behavior is desired for your statistical analyses. (Use -K to suppress OTU compaction)
• ninja.py: Taxonomy is now optional; the wrapper can detect whether the taxonomy is present in a database folder
• ninja.py: Default speed option is now -m max (more sensitive)
• ninja_prep: Now takes a prefix to name all output files.
• ninja_prep: Now generates unspaced concatesomes by default
• ninja_prep: Now generates compressed concatesome (compressasomes, TCF format) by default
• ninja_compact: New program. Takes samfile produced by aligner and coalesces OTUs (deterministic tie-breaking) losslessly.
• Databases: regenerated, UNITE database now is spaced, TCF file added to all databases for use with ninja_compact
