Hi community (@fbeghini ) I am using MetaPhlAn3 and getting some output like:
k__Bacteria|p__Firmicutes|c__Clostridia|o__Clostridiales|f__Clostridiales_unclassified|g__Lawsonibacter 2|1239|186801|186802||2172004 0.46367
Here, we are getting genus
level classification “Lawsonibacter”, but the family
remains unclassified (same thing happened for many other taxa as well). This is leading to downstream analysis problem. When I tried to load it in STAMP software, it is showing some ERROR
and not importing my stamp compatible profile file ( .spf file
) :
Error reading profile file
Child g__Gemella has an unclassified parent.
The same type of profiling problemWhy am I not getting family but getting genus level resolution? Isn’t it strange???
Thanks,
