Hi Gneiss folks,
I’m in the process of running the 88 soils tutorial and I’m hoping for a little clarification. With the qiime2 2018.2 release, the metadata-category option have been removed and the error message thrown indicates that users are to use metadata column instead. Below are the two commands effected:
qiime gneiss gradient-clustering
–i-table 88soils_filt100.biom.qza
–m-gradient-file 88soils_metadata.txt
–m-gradient-category ph
–o-clustering ph_tree.nwk.qza
–p-no-weighted
qiime gneiss dendrogram-heatmap
–i-table 88soils_composition.biom.qza
–i-tree ph_tree.nwk.qza
–m-metadata-file 88soils_rounded_metadata.txt
–m-metadata-category “ph_rounded”
–o-visualization “ph_heatmap”
–p-ndim 10 --verbose
Appears to work for the gradient-clustering command, however during the dendrogram-heatmap step, the --m-metadata-category option is gone, but --m-metadata-column throws the error that the values in the column cannot be a numerical value. Is there a work around for this issue?
Cheers,
Betsy
