  • Simple statistics help

    Hello there,

    I am currently working on a metagenomics project on the oral microbiome. I am new to metagenomics and not the best at statistics, so please bear with me

    I have 3 conditions: a control, an antibiotic-treated, and another type of antibiotic-treated.

    I was referred to Metaphlan2, which turned out to be great. Super grateful for the tool. Generated a nice heat map and got some nice preliminary results.

    However, I am interested in only extracting bacterial species that have a differential relative abundance of some threshold across treatment groups. What is the easiest way to do this given the output metaphlan2 output (relative abundance)? Any help would be appreciated.

    I start with indicator species analysis (indicspecies package in R). you'll need to correct the p-values for multiple comparisons, the package doesn't automatically do that.
    Microbial ecologist, running a sequencing core. I have lots of strong opinions on how to survey communities, pretty sure some are even correct.

      From the same guys that created Metaphlan there's also a tool called LEfSe which you could use for this. It may be easier for you if you're new to this!

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
