#' Calculate the community/sample-wise mean 16S rRNA copy numbers
#'
#' Calculate the average 16S rRNA copy number for each sample in an OTU table 
#' @param x A phyloseq object OR an OTU-table with taxa as rows and OTU names as rownames. OTUs should be picked against the Greengenes v13.5 database, unless a another copy number database is provided.
#' @param copy.database What Greengenes database version was used to find OTUs. Atm only "v13.5" is available. Alternatively, A dataframe with two variables: "ID" is the OTU id matched by rownames in x and "Copy" is the copy number.
#' @param weighted Logical. Should the average copy number be weighted by the relative abundances of the OTUs? If not, it is adviced to rarefy the otu-table first if there are large differences in sample reads.
#' @keywords rrna
#' @return A dataframe with an average copy number for each sample
