Core-metrics-results

[WAS (WS)]

Hello! I'm having a little metrics problem.
I have 11 populations and 3 replicates each.
In the "CORE METRIC RESULTS" folder, all metrics appear with n = 9.
Should not it be n = 3 because I only have 3 repetitions? Qiime2 is creating duplicates in my reps?

Hi @WAS! I am assuming you are talking about the output visualization from the diversity beta-group-significance visualizer --- check out this great thread for a bit more discussion:

How to interpret beta-group-significance results (boxplots)

Hi there, I was wondering if someone would be happy to explain how to interpret the output of beta-group-significance, particularly the pairwise boxplots. One thing that's really confusing me is the 'n' numbers under the boxplots (see below for example). Initially I assumed that it referred to the number of samples in that category, but that can't be possible as n=216 for 'supra' when I know there are only 24 'supra' samples and only 35 samples total in my dataset. Is 'n' the number of 'distan…

If you are asking about a different visualization, can you please post the following:

• the version of QIIME 2 you are running
• the exact command you are running (copy and paste)
• the metadata you are using (upload or copy and paste)
• the resulting visualization in question (upload or attach a screenshot)

Thanks!
