Biom.info (version 1.39.5.0)
Enter a distance label to be used in the shared file created from your biom file (e.g. 0.03)
indicate what you want the summary file to represent, options are otu and sequence. Default is otu. For example consider the following basis=sequence could give Clostridiales 3 105, where 105 is the total number of sequences whose otu classified to Clostridiales. Now for basis=otu could give Clostridiales 3 7, where 7 is the number of otus that classified to Clostridiales.
use relative abundances rather than raw abundances for the tax.summary file
The detail format outputs the totals at each level, where as the simple format outputs the highest level
specify taxlevel of your *tax.summary file to print to. Options are 1 to the maz level in the file. The default is -1, meaning max level
