I want to analyze abundances on genus level. However I see that genus levels abundances (and read counts) are less than abundances of species in the corresponding genus, which seems a bit counter intuitive to me.
For example, if I do "grep Homo A_Y_T2_24706_ACTTGAtr_report.tsv", I get
Homo 9605 genus 0 12 0 0.0
Homo sapiens 9606 species 3238442024 738484 395792 1.26543e-06
Shouln't the software summarize abundances in hierarchical manner? Please let me know if I miss something.
Cheers,
