title: 'karioCaS: Kraken Confidence Scores for Reliable Domain-Specific Microbiota
  Inference and Discovery'
version: 0.99.15
abstract: Provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing Kraken2 metagenomic classification
  using multiple confidence scores. karioCaS implements a robust comparative approach
  to evaluate taxonomic stability across different stringency levels, facilitating
  the identification of reliable microbiota components and the discovery of potentially
  novel or unrepresented species. A key innovation is its domain-specific analysis,
  separately processing Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryota, and Viruses to ensure balanced
  visibility of all biological domains. Includes high-quality visualization tools
  for retention rates, shared taxa (Upset plots), and stability heatmaps.
