MKBDR is used to process FASTA files in order to produce a reference database with right format and taxonomy according to NCBI taxonomies. If new species must be added, it can produce a custom NCBI taxdump tree file.
**MKBDR** is used to process FASTA files in order to produce a reference database with right format and taxonomy according to NCBI taxonomies. If new species must be added, it can produce a custom NCBI taxonomy.
The custom reference database generated by MKBDR can be use in further analysis to perform taxonomic assignment with software such as [ecotag](https://pythonhosted.org/OBITools/scripts/ecotag.html)
