**What it does**
MetaPhlAn is a computational tool for profiling the composition of microbial communities from metagenomic shotgun sequencing data. MetaPhlAn relies on unique clade-specific marker genes identified from reference genomes, allowing orders of magnitude speedups and unambiguous taxonomic assignments.

MetaPhlAn main features are:

More than 100x computational speedup compared to Blast-based approaches or other available methods with species level resolution
Higher accuracy in estimating the true composition of microbial communities in terms of organismal relative abundance
Unambiguous read-to-taxa assignments as conserved inter-clade sequences are removed from the reference sequence data

---------

**Inputs**

The input file can be a multi-fasta file containing metagenomic reads OR a NCBI BLAST output file (-outfmt 6 format) of the metagenomic read fasta file against the metaflan database.

**outputs**

The output is a tab-separated output file of the predicted taxon relative abundances.
If the input is a multi-fasta file then the output from the BLAST operation is also provided as an additional output.

  --min_nreads          minimum total reads assigned to a clade for
