How to use discrete false discovery rate with ANCOM?

[Lavendel]

Hello,

I have reas this topic https://forum.qiime2.org/t/will-discrete-false-discovery-rate-be-integrated-to-ancom/1993, but still I do not know how to change the ANCOM script to use DFDR.

Can anybody please give me a suggestion on how to add/edit the ANCOM script to use dfdr? Or Is it in the plan for the next release (2018.6 perhaps?)

Thank you ,
LV

Hi there @Lavendel!

Can anybody please give me a suggestion on how to add/edit the ANCOM script to use dfdr?

There isn’t any easy way to do that right now. You could fork the q2-composition plugin and make the changes @mortonjt suggested, but that would involve some development work (QIIME 2 doesn’t use “scripts” but rather, it provides functionality via “plugins”).

You could also check out https://github.com/serenejiang/q2_dsfdr, for a related plugin.

Sorry I don’t have better news for you!
