Summarise abundance profiles at higher
taxonomic rank. The provided option must
match a rank in the taxonomy exactly. This
is akin to the clade assigned reads provided
by, for example, kraken2, where the
abundances of a whole taxonomic branch are
assigned to a taxon at the desired rank.
Please note that abundances above the
selected rank are simply ignored. No attempt
is made to redistribute those down to the
desired rank. Some tools, like Bracken, were
designed for this purpose but it doesn't
seem like a problem we can generally solve
here.
