Bioinformatic workflow.
This code will allow the user to clean and organise their DNA sample library and then calculate measures of taxon abundance for analysis. Important steps include:
* Removing
+ samples with less than 100 target reads
+ Non-target sequences
+ Specific samples (e.g. those that did not meet thresholds for inclusion, like CT)
* Producing group totals for higher taxonomic levels
* Calculating the frequency of occurrence (FOO) and relative read abundance (RRA) of items in the dataset
