Perform Diversity analysis

[jwdebelius (Justine Debelius)]

Hi @M_F,

Can you please back up and describe your pipeline? You should not have a per-sample tree, so I'd love to know how you got there?

The number at the bottom of the boxplot is the number of distance measurements, not the number of samples.

beta diversity explanation (jaccard_distance)

Hi , I did beta diversity analysis using jaccard_distance metric. But I am confused the result. According to the table, there is a significant difference between NF and PF groups, and the distance from NF to PF is 1 according to the left upper graph. They are consistent. However, the distance from NL to PL is also 1 from the lower right graph which means two group shar no species, but P value is more than 0.05 from the table which means there is no significant difference between NL and PL.

interpretation of beta-diversity-group-significance box plots

Hello all, Can anyone pls help me to interpret my beta-diversity-group-significance results? I have 4 groups each containing 2 samples. total number of sample is 8. I am unable to understand why in all the four plots, the first box has appeared to be a line only. Did I make any mistake? [excreta-boxplots] [gut-boxplots] [leaf-boxplots] [soil-boxplots] Any kind of help is highly appreciated. Best regards,

Help interpreting beta diversity plots

Hi! I'm still relatively new to Qiime, and was wondering if I could get some help interpreting my beta diversity (Bray-Curtis) plots? I thought I had this all figured out but then my PI brought up a different point and made me question everything!! [D84-CON-boxplots-2 v2] So my thinking was, there is more diversity in the TYL group because the box is larger, indicating a wider variety in the distances measured. But then my PI brought up that it could be less diversity, because even though th…
