+**What it does**
+
+When performing metagenomic analyses it is often necessary to identify sequence reads corresponding to a particular taxonomic group, or, in other words, diagnostic of a particular taxonomic rank. This utility performs this analysis. It takes data generated by *Taxonomy manipulation->Fetch Taxonomic Ranks* as input and outputs either a list of sequence reads unique to a particular taxonomic rank, or a list of taxonomic ranks and the count of unique reads corresponding to each rank. 
+
+------
+
+**Example**
+
+Suppose the *Taxonomy manipulation->Fetch Taxonomic Ranks* generated the following taxonomy representation::
+
+    read1 2      root Eukaryota Metazoa n n Chordata   Craniata Gnathostomata Mammalia n        Laurasiatheria   n           Ruminantia  n             Bovidae     Bovinae      n          n          Bos        n Bos taurus        n
+    read2 12585	 root Eukaryota Metazoa n n Chordata   Craniata Gnathostomata Mammalia n        Euarchontoglires Primates	 Haplorrhini Hominoidea    Hominidae   n            n          n          Homo       n Homo sapiens      n 
+    read1 58615  root Eukaryota Metazoa n n Arthropoda n        Hexapoda      Insecta  Neoptera Amphiesmenoptera Lepidoptera Glossata    Papilionoidea Nymphalidae Nymphalinae  Melitaeini Phyciodina Anthanassa n Anthanassa otanes n 
+    read3 56785	 root Eukaryota Metazoa n n Chordata   Craniata Gnathostomata Mammalia n        Euarchontoglires Primates	 Haplorrhini Hominoidea    Hominidae   n            n          n          Homo       n Homo sapiens      n   
+
+Running this tool with the following parameters:
+
+  * *Select column with sequence id* set to **c1**
+  * *Select taxonomic ranks* with **order**, and **genus** checked
+  * *Output format* set to **Diagnostic read list**
+  
+will return::
+
+    read2 Primates order
+    read3 Primates order
+    read2 Homo     genus
+    read3 Homo     genus
+    
+Changing *Output format* set to **Number of diagnostic reads per taxonomic rank** will produce::
+
+    Primates 2       order
+    Homo     2       genus
+    
+.. class:: infomark
+
+Note that **read1** is omitted because it is non-unique: it hits Mammals and Insects at the same time.    
+
+--------
+
+.. class:: warningmark
+
+This tool omits "**n**" corresponding to ranks missing from NCBI taxonomy. In the above example *Home sapiens* contains the order name (Primates) while *Bos taurus* does not.
