Hello,
This is probably a simple answer but I can’t seem to find it. How do I see the number of OTUs per sample? And if I have a collapsed table on the family level, how can I see the number of families present in each sample?
Thanks!
Zach

Hello Zach,
For OTUs per sample, how about qiime feature-table summarize
?
https://docs.qiime2.org/2018.6/plugins/available/feature-table/summarize/
That script might also work after you have collapsed your table at the family level.

Thanks for the reply, @colinbrislawn . When looking at table is the number of sequences you would use for rarefaction the number of OTUs?
Nope. Rarefaction performs random subsampling down to a specific number of reads per sample. So you would look at reads per sample, not OTUs per sample.
I think this user had a similar question to yours, and I think you may find our discussion helpful.
Let me know if that answers your question,
Colin
