Large percentage of unmapped pathways,

at the beginning, I only download the 2 database, at the end I found large percentage of unmapped pathway,

then I use
$humann_databases --download utility_mapping full DB
and rerun the program, there are still large percentage of unmapped pathway

Thanks for your kind attention

I’m not sure what you mean by “unmapped pathway”?

Thanks for your attention, Franzosa!

Below is a snippet from demo_pathabundance.tsv. As you can see, there’s a large proportion of unmapped and unintegrated pathways. We’ve observed the same issue in our real sample.

Mapped Pathways: ~15%
UNINTEGRATED: ~40%
UNMAPPED: ~32%

hope this is normal output? not indicate sample or method mistake?
cheers
