Hello everyone,
I ran LEfSE analysis in R Studio using the microbiomeMarker package on microbiota data.
I got an output with several repeated biomarkers.
| condition | Biomarker_Taxon | LDA_log10 |
|---|---|---|
| Chl Control | SAR324_clade(Marine_group_B) | 2.676009008 |
| Chl Control | SAR324_clade(Marine_group_B) | 2.675979293 |
| Chl Control | SAR324_clade(Marine_group_B)s_ | 2.668985540 |
I am struggling to find the reason why it got duplicated.
How should I handle or interpret the repeated taxa?
Is there any way to collapse or deduplicate them eventually?
Or what is the best practice?
Any advice is very much welcome.
Thank you so much,
Kat
