Hi, How can I use kaiju to do the taxonomic assignment of my contigs/bins ? Are there special options for that ? Thank you very much

You can just input the contig sequences in fasta format into kaiju. If you did already gene prediction from the contigs, then you can also input the protein sequences directly (and use option -p for protein input).
