chimera.check

I am running chimera.check but I don’t know how to interpret the output. Does anyone know what is the meaning of the “IS scores”? How to determine if the sequence is chimeric.

Thanks for your help.

The chimera.check command in mothur is modeled after CHIMERA_CHECK version 2.7 written by Niels Larsen. You may want to check out http://wdcm.nig.ac.jp/RDP/docs/chimera_doc.html
