assign_taxonomy.py -m uclust should throw error when passed aligned sequences #1354

Open jairideout opened 10 years ago

jairideout commented 10 years ago

assign_taxonomy.py -m uclust (the new consensus-based taxonomy assigner) should throw an error (or at least a warning) if aligned sequences are supplied via -i.

This issue recently came up on the QIIME forum where a user was supplying aligned sequences and all assignments were marked as "Unassigned".

Really any of them should. I think this is a better goal for 2.0.0, when we're doing type checking.
