making sense of results... about microbecensus

Yes you are doing everything right! Your AGS estimates are quite high, which as you mention, may be do to high levels of eukaryotes or viruses.

Regardless, you can use the number of genome equivalents for normalization if you plan to perform comparative analyses between your samples.

Thanks,

Thanks for your quick answer! Do you know of any other paper that reports the output from MicrobeCensus runs? I'd be curious to compare, but couldn't find any.

Yes, there are decent number. You can look through these papers.
