Does anyone know the difference between k__Bacteria;p__Firmicutes;c__Erysipelotrichi;o__Erysipelotrichales;f__Erysipelotrichaceae;__andk__Bacteria;p__Firmicutes;c__Erysipelotrichi;o__Erysipelotrichales;f__Erysipelotrichaceae;g__?
Are they the data of two families f__Erysipelotrichaceae which can’t be identified the specific genus?
Is a specific family that is unnamed/unclassified in Greengenes itself.
I think
means that the classifier couldn't define it past the family level.
...I tend to do some manual clean up and when I do, I often use 'unspecified' or "uncultured" for the g__ taxonomy ("unspecified family Erysipelotrichaceae") and "unclassified" for the second when I present the results, as much as a note to myself as anything else.
