Questions about "--min_abudance"

Hi @XiuChao_Wang,

Check out this forum post here where we explain how min_abundance and min_prevelance work together!

Question regarding how min_prevalence and min_abundance work in Maaslin2

Hello @tamardigrade The min_abundance filter drops bugs that don’t have enough samples above the specified value in the unnormalized input data. The min abundance and min prevalence checks occur before normalization so it will use whatever type of data you use as the input. Thanks, Jacob Nearing

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Jacob
