Should GTDB_Kraken be used as a standalone DB or can it be included in a DB together with standard reference libraries

Dear GTDB_Kraken,

First off, thank you for sharing this! I was wondering whether the taxonomy folder you included is compatible with the standard reference libraries provided by kraken2-build? In other words, can we build a custom kraken2 database not only including your GTDB_kraken library, but also several of the standard reference libraries (for example the viral and plasmid one)? I was thinking of merging the taxonomy files of your GTDB_kraken database with the ones generated by adding other reference libraries to the DB? Or are those taxonomy files not compatible with the ones of the standard reference libraries?

Cheers,

Sam
