Just as an example: Imagine that you have one OTU which is the only one present in a sample. Would it be removed if you apply a filtering of 1% and its fraction regarding the whole dataset is 0.6%?
Is there a script to filter OTUs taking into account the minimum count fraction of each sample but using the .biom table of the whole dataset? I mean, without need for filtering samples from the out table and do it separately.
