Utilize sequence multiplicities
Although non-standard, many sequence file preprocessing steps add meta-data to the sequence name. For example, in fasta, one often sees
>name_1234
or
>name;size=1234
in order to note the abundance of the sequence. Such formats are used e.g., by swarm and vsearch.
It would be helpful if epa-ng picks this information up and uses it as multiplicity
in the result jplace
file.
