hi buddies!  
im in the taxonomy assignment and I have this visualization:

 ![Captura de pantalla 2022-03-17 a la(s) 14.10.23](https://forum-qiime2-org.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/0/0993fda0ab09bca079a099bfce91aa344114b08f.jpeg)

i want to exclude Cyanobacteria so I ran this command:

qiime taxa filter-seqs   
--i-sequences rep-seqs.qza   
--i-taxonomy taxonomy.qza   
--p-include p\_\_   
--p-exclude Cyanobacteria   
--o-filtered-sequences filtered-sequences.qza

and I want to generate a table in order to make a visualization

do you know if there`s a command to generate the table and the qzv artifact?

This tutorial should walk you through what you need to do [Taxonomic annotation of observed sequences — QIIME 2 Cancer Microbiome Intervention Tutorial](https://docs.qiime2.org/jupyterbooks/cancer-microbiome-intervention-tutorial/030-tutorial-downstream/020-taxonomy.html#filtering-filters-based-on-their-taxonomy). You will want to be sure to select the appropriate interface from the drop-down at the top of the page.
