Hi!  
I have generated a new topic regarding the understanding of the correct OTUs cutoff during training feature classifier , But yet there is no reply!

THE TOPIC WAS AS FOLLOWS:  
HI!  
I am here again with a new question and your kindly explanation of the issue will be highly appreciated  
I wonder what will be the differences between the results when we use OUTs 97% and 99% cutoff for training feature classifier?  
By that I mean, if the depth of discovered OUTs and strains will be reduced by decreasing the cutoff to 97 …95…so on?

Thanks in advance
