I am just trying to make you aware of the limitations of species level annotations when using 16S. Another Mod, chiimed in and suggested that you checkout `rescript edit-taxonomy` which can do what you are interested in investigating without having to leave and re-enter the QIIME 2 sphere. > [@Processing, filtering, and evaluating the SILVA database (and other reference sequence data) with RESCRIPt](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/processing-filtering-and-evaluating-the-silva-database-and-other-reference-sequence-data-with-rescript/15494#heading--sixteenth-header): > > construction Please consider this tutorial a living document, which may change based upon community feedback and ongoing plugin development. RESCRIPt [RESCRIPt](https://github.com/bokulich-lab/RESCRIPt) (REference Sequence annotation and CuRatIon Pipeline) is a python package and QIIME 2 plugin for formatting, managing, and manipulating sequence reference databases.
