enable taxonomy plotting with LIN taxonomic framework?
In sourmash taxonomy, we're adding utils to use the LIN
taxonomic framework, which allows for greater flexibility and specificity compared with standard taxonomic ranks. For example, if only certain strains of a microbe are pathogenic, the LIN framework may be useful for identifying/grouping pathogenic vs non-pathogenic strains.
Is this something you're interested in allowing for viz? Though LINs aren't super widely used yet, I think they have neat potential for sourmash applications.
