Command Documentation

The merge.groups command reads a shared file and a design file and merges the groups in the shared file that are in the same grouping in the design file.

A design file partitions a list of names into groups. It is a tab-delimited file with 2 columns: name and group, e.g. :
duck bird
cow mammal
pig mammal
goose bird
cobra reptile

The Make_Design tool can construct a design file from a Mothur dataset that contains group names.
