Description

Dear Authors,
Congrats on this huge task and thanks for creating this resource.
When exploring the data at family level, I noticed an issue regarding taxonomy that was highlighted couple of year back in the dada2 silva database. I am not sure if the source database used in this study is from this repository but there seems to be the same issue.
https://github.com/mikemc/dada2-reference-databases/issues/1

```
# BiocManager::install('seandavi/MicroBioMap')
library(MicroBioMap)
library(mia)
library(dplyr)
cpd <- getCompendium()
saveRDS(cpd, 'MicroBioMapDataTSE.rds')

vcpd <- mia::subsetByPrevalentFeatures(cpd,
detection=0.0001,
prevalence=0.01,
as_relative = TRUE)

dplyr::count(as.data.frame(rowData(vcpd)), family)

```
examples of genus level names at family level are Anaerococcus, Ezakiella, Finegoldia, Parvimonas, Peptoniphilus etc

Best wishes,
Sudarshan

Research direction

Start by reproducing the family-level counts with getCompendium() and rowData(vcpd) using the R snippet, then compare the taxonomy source with the linked dada2-reference-databases issue. Done means determining whether names such as Anaerococcus and Finegoldia are incorrectly assigned at family rank and documenting or correcting the affected taxonomy.
