Did we look at melon already for long reads? https://github.com/xinehc/melon

It looks very cool. There are some comparisons among Kraken, mOTUs, and Bracken. It would be great to see benchmarks against long-read profilers.

It seems melon performs quite well. Should we include it in the taxprofiler?

Sure!

I can create an issue in the taxprofiler repo

You had mentioned it earlier 😛

Oh hahaha
