This one line function is useful for those wanting to just see the count data for one species or to create a new DGE or manta object on a subset of data.
}
\usage{
metataxa2subcounts(x, meta.lev='species', taxa.filter)

}
\arguments{
\item{x}{a manta object.}
\item{meta.lev}{the name of the taxinomic rank on which to subset.}
\item{taxa.filter}{the name of the taxonomy at the meta.lev rank on which to subset.}
