[Question]: Creating a community model for 6-7 species using pre-binned MAGs obtained from elsewhere #169

Dear Francisco

I'm working on a project where I wish to use MAGs to create a community GEM (6 species). The MAGs will be obtained from somewhere else, and I want to use that data to create the model using meta-GEM.

1) Under the FAQs, It says that the pipeline is flexible to accommodate pre-binned MAGs. Could you describe how I do this in more detail? I'm unable to find documentation for this case.

2) Since it's only 6 species, can I can create the model on my PC ?

Thanks Charan
