I had thought the same.
Ok, but I can do it only for frequencies, not for pident
, because it comes out of BLAST with maximum 2 digits. Anyway, it shouldn't be a problem, because we have only high values of pident
.
The taxa frequencies are rounded to zero in more cases than what would be reasonable to expect, leading to values that don't add up to 100% by a significant margin.
A good rule of thumb could be for the frequency percentage be precise enough to detect one read in a sample; we can take
10^6
as an upper bound for the number of reads per sample.Reported by @rtobes
