It seems the “Include children” and “Include parents” do not work for the resulting files of Kraken2 in the Gaxlaxy.

Hi @Zhenyu_Shen

We can investigate and suggest changes if the current tool isn’t doing something you want, or if it has a technical issue we can confirm and share with the developers.

Would you like to share an example? A [shared history link](https://galaxyproject.github.io/training-material/faqs/galaxy/histories_sharing.html) (you can [copy the subset data into a new history](https://galaxyproject.github.io/training-material/faqs/galaxy/histories_copy_dataset.html)), the dataset numbers involved, and perhaps some screenshots to help me to know what parts you think are incorrect can all get this started. 🙂
