Compare function and replicate in biom

Hi everyone,

First all, thank you Mr Huson for created MEGAN, it is very useful for my analyses.

I’m working on metabarcoding data with replicates of my samples. I had generated a biom file for each sample and each of theses biom files contain the data for the replicates of a sample. I use the function “compare” on MEGAN to have an overview of all the samples. It gived me a bar chart with one bar per sample and didn’t show the composition of all the replicates. It suits me fine because it is easy to read. But I want to know what happened with the replicates before to have a only one result/sample in my chart. It is the mean of each data of all replicates ?

Thank you in advance for your help
