merRep
merRep is a computational tool designed for the analysis of microbial communities. It focuses on identifying and quantifying specific microbial taxa within a given sample. The software typically utilizes sequence data, such as 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequences, to perform its analyses.
The primary function of merRep is to estimate the relative abundance of different microbial species or operational
The output of merRep usually includes tables detailing the identified taxa and their corresponding abundance values.
