Error beta rarefaction plugin

Hi everyone! I have been trying to perform beta-rarefaction analyses without success. My efforts to try to debug the error have yielded little success so far. I am using qiime2-amplicon-2024.2 conda version. Please advice after going through the ddescription below.

Here is the code:

qiime diversity beta-rarefaction \
--i-table $QIIME_DENOISE_DIR/data_1_n_2/16S-feature_table_samoles.qza \
--p-metric weighted_unifrac \
--p-clustering-method nj \
--m-metadata-file $METADATA_4_RAREFACTION_DIR/data1_2_metadata.tsv \
--p-sampling-depth 225541 \
--i-phylogeny $PHYLOGENY_OUT_DIR/phylogenetic_tree/rooted_tree.qza \
--o-visualization $RAREFACTION_OUTPUT_DIR/beta_diversity/weighted_unifrac.qzv \
--verbose 

Here I use my --p-sampling-depth 225541 as suggested in previous forums about choosing sampling depths. I only have to samples to compare and I chose the lowest sampling depth.

Here is the log :

Plugin error from diversity:

Running with the highest sampling depth gives a much weirder error:

Hi @George_kitundu,
According to the first error:

Distance matrices must have at least 3 matching IDs between them (i.e., minimum 3x3 in size).

Looking at your feature table, you only have 2 samples. So it looks like you won't be a ble to run beta rarefaction because your data does not meet the minimum required samples for beta-rarefaction.

I am sorry to not have better news! I hope this clarifies your error!

Thanks a lot, @cherman2 , I am in a bit of peril here haha. Unfortunately, my two collaborators had a bit of a misunderstanding and one sequenced the two 16S and the other sequenced the remaining sample shotgun. I conducted the analysis using qiime2. I am a bit skeptical about using the shotgun version since it says somewhere that its still in its testing stage. How would you advise me to go about this issue so I can perform the rarefaction analyses in all three samples? Could I just use the qiime2 shotgun feature and find a way to combine the feature tables and phylogenies for all the three samples then calculate the rarefaction analyses?

Hello George,

I'm not Cherman2 but hopefully I can offer a little advice.

It sounds like you have a total of 3 samples now. How many samples will you have in total?

If this is a pilot study, having both shotgun and amplicon samples can be a good starting point. However, you could also use data from another study. If you want to run the Qiime2 pipeline to learn how analysis works and test that your system has everything installed, you can use the data from one of the tutorials.

I understand the struggle of getting data from collaborators, and how our colleagues can make mistakes. Hopefully, we can make a plan that works in the future!

I would not. Amplicon and shotgun sequencing are quite different and I suspect reviewer three will criticize this.

Thanks a lot for the input @colinbrislawn , I will have a total of three samples . All of which come from different locations. Two of them are the 16S an one is shotgun.

I am really perplexed on what to do because whats a metagenome study without the rarefactions haha

Okay. So you have a global n = 3, and n=1 for each location.

This may work as a demonstration or proof-of-concept, but there is insufficient statistical power to draw any conclusions.

Your team needs more samples.

Don't feel too bad: NASA has done studies with similarly small sample sizes. They argue that this is due to the rarity of their cohort

long-duration (>300 days) missions are rare (n = 8 total)

Even this study is longitudinal, so even they use more than 3 samples.


The rarefaction curves show when sufficient sampling depth (reads per sample) has been reached.

This study may have enough reads per sample, but it does not have enough samples.

Your team needs more samples.

Well thats a relief, I managed to plot the alpha rarefactions just fine, core metrics came out well as well. My only concern is with the beta rarefaction which is in my opinion, kinda the whole idea when studying different sites/locations
