SMURF Implementation Done to acceLerate Effeciency

Sidle is a python version of the Short MUliple Reads Framework (SMURF) algorithm originally developed by Fuks et al (2018) with a novel tree-building solution. This allows the reconstruction of multiple short, fragmented amplicons against a known database to improve the resolution fo the reconstructed community over single amplicons. It can also be used for meta-analysis to provide improved asv-based resolution.
