About tax2tree¶

The tax2tree software package was developed in collaboration with Greengenes for the purpose of transferring a taxonomy from one tree to another. Specifically, the motivation was to reduce the manual curation effort necessary for each release of Greengenes by automating the decoration of taxonomy.
