Using Bracken for metatranscriptomic analysis #269

HI,

This was originally mentioned as a comment by another user in #226. The user raises some good points about why bracken might not be suitable for analysing transcriptomic data from bacteria. I was wondering whether bracken would be appropriate to use for a metatranscriptomic dataset that contains diverse taxa from multiple kingdoms?

Cheers, Laura
