LEfSe formatting modules

the input file, feature hierarchical level can be specified with | or . and those symbols must not be present for other reasons in the input file.
the output file containing the data for LEfSe

show this help message and exit
the formatted table in txt format
set whether the features are on rows (default) or on columns
set which feature use as class (default 1)
set which feature use as subclass (default -1 meaning no subclass)
set the normalization value (default -1.0 meaning no normalization)
set which feature use as subject (default -1 meaning no subject)
set the policy to adopt with missing values: f removes the features with missing values, s removes samples with missing values (default f)
set the minimum cardinality of each subclass (subclasses with low cardinalities will be grouped together, if the cardinality is still low, no pairwise comparison will be performed with them)
For biom input files: Set which feature use as class
For biom input files: set which feature use as subclass
