Question: OTUs that are present in multiple sources #132

Hi SourceTracker team: I don't understand some algorithms of this software. How does SourceTracker behave in presence of OTUs that are present in multiple sources (such as skin and oral)? Considering both skin and oral are possible sources for the OTUs? How to calculate the proportion?

Look forward to a solution!
