Taxonomy annotations

The format of a taxonomy prediction is the same as the names in a  taxonomy annotation except that a confidence level is specified for some or all of the names. For example:

d:Bacteria(1.00),p:Firmicutes(0.98),c:Clostridia,o:Halanaerobiales,f:Halobacteroidaceae(0.75)

A confidence level appears parentheses following the taxon name and is in the range 0.0 to 1.0.

If a confidence threshold is used then a resolved prediction is generated which keeps only names with confidences meeting the threshold. For example, with a threshold of 0.9 the resolved prediction for the above example is:

d:Bacteria,p:Firmicutes
