  Description     : Rapid and accurate taxonomic classification of short
paired-end sequence reads from the 16S ribosomal RNA gene

Short-read technologies for microbial community profiling are increasingly
popular, yet previous techniques for assigning taxonomy to paired-end reads
perform poorly. RTAX provides rapid taxonomic assignments of paired-end reads
using a consensus algorithm.

This tool is an optional dependency for qiime(which is already packaged) and it
would be great to have it
packaged for Debian.

Simon
