pan-db profile-db collection bin

Usage

This program merges two or more bins together into a single bin.

To run this program, the bins that you want to merge must be contained within a single collection. Just provide the collection name, the pan-db or profile-db you’re working with, the bins that you want to merge, and the name of the output bin.

To check what collections and bins are contained in a database, you can either run this program with the flag --list-collections or --list-bins, or you can run anvi-show-collections-and-bins.

For example, if you wanted to merge the bins first_third, middle_third, and last_third in a pan-db into a single bin called complete_bin, just run

Now your collection will contain the bin complete_bin and the original bins will be gone forever (unless you had runanvi-summarize, anvi-export-collection, or a similar program beforehand)
