Built using DIAMOND v2.0.15. Command:

```
diamond makedb --threads # --in input.faa --db WoLr2
```

Compatible with DIAMOND v0.9.25 and above (database format version 3).

Typical search commands:

Search protein sequences:
```
diamond blastp -p # -d WoLr2 -q input.fa -o output.m8
```

Search whole-metagenome sequencing data:
```
diamond blastx -p # -d WoLr2 -q input.R1.fq.gz input.R2.fq.gz -o output.m8 \
  --query-gencode 11
```

This analysis requires at least 5 GB and up to 20 GB memory.
