How it works
Conceptual design only. This generic task has no fixed executable protocol and does not imply a completed run.
Read the diagram as text
- Define community samples
- Pin reference taxonomy
- Estimate taxon abundances
- Compare presence and abundance
Proposed comparison design
A comparison needs matched sample definitions, reference taxonomy versions and a declared abundance convention.

Strengths and limitations
Limitations and conditions
- Relative abundances depend on the reference and measurement process; this record does not define one mock community.MetaPhlAn official resource · Catalogue task scope and proposed comparison design; concrete source protocol has not yet been extracted
Profile review details
Catalogue extraction inspected; protocol claims remain limited to the cited evidence. Missing details are not presumed absent from the original paper.
