When using merge, each column represents one profile/sample. I don't see how in a wide table you would do this? Certainly in the long (tidy) format, you have only three columns: taxonomy_id, count, and sample.
But in standardise
It is by default wide, so still works, you just rename count
to the file name ?
And if it's long, it's still a single extra column with a single-entry of the sample name
Oh, that's how you mean. I guess, in this case wide/long are actually the same 😆 We could offer the wide/long option, though, and then change output accordingly. You think that would be better/more consistent?
I think so, see the issue in the tutorial for an example in #66 :)
Is there an existing issue for this?
Problem description
I've noticed that when writiting the tutotiral, that for
standardise
the output header column is named ascount
. Whereas inmerge
it represents the file name.I wonder if we should match the behaviour between the two, so both merge and standardise use the same column header format
However as this I now wonder we could even just collapse the two commands in two one... simply have
standardise
, which can accept one or more profiles (with if more provided, all are automatically merged...? But then someone may wish to merge themselves later on... so maybe safer as it is)Code sample
Code run:
Traceback:
Environment
Anything else?
For example, if I merge output of standardise of one tool, and merge of another tool

was from a stadnarise on kraken output
