Hi @Nicholas_Bokulich
Thanks for your answer! Yes, I got exactly that warning (in yellow) about qiime gneiss balance-taxonomy being deprecated while running it!
I'm trying songbird already, but it's already giving me some compatibility issues (apparently involving the feature table), for which I'm going to open another thread.
Because that ASV is only classified to the family level, so gneiss is being nice and showing you the terminal taxonomic label.
I see!
Not in an easy way — you could use python to customize the labels easily enough but there is no way to modify these labels in QIIME 2. collapsing will NOT work.
This sounds demanding... since I'm far from being a skilled progammer... I guess I'll give songbird a go before venturing into Python scripting, also to see how the results look like.
