Hi @fbeghini  
I found in the metaphlan --help parametres that ther is a way to get the marker\_ab\_table normalized by the metagenome size and I got to obtain the table for one sample now I have two questions:

1. How do I reach to obtain the taxonomy of the marker abundance table?
2. How do I obtain the merged abundance table for all the samples?

Thanks in Advance  
P.S. sorry for asking too many questions…
