Hi there,

Another minor bug (v. minor?) fix. Right now, query.tsv output files use the column header ERR_TYPE for the tsv column containing TP/FP/FN annotations, and truth.tsv files use ERRTYPE. That makes downstream analysis difficult, since you have to change that column name if you want to merge these two datasets in any way.

ERR_TYPE is only used when writing query.tsv or in the Outputs.md wiki page. All other references to those data (variable names, etc) use ERRTYPE. So, this pull request changes those two instances of "ERR_TYPE" to ERRTYPE, unifying the naming conventions and easing downstream analysis.

Hope this is helpful,
Joe

Ensures truth and query tsv files use the same column names in each report. That enables easier downstream data processing.
While ERRTYPE is used in most variable names, ERR_TYPE is used only in this document and in the truth.tsv file. This change centers all references to this variable around the ERRTYPE name.
