Hi all,

Hope everyone is doing well.

I have a question specifically for the step calculating the PERMANOVA using the command `beta-group-significance`. Is there a way I can calculate the R2 there and get the value in the table together with the pvalues?

I would appreciate your help.  
Thanks!  
Ida

Hi @idapantoja,  
beta-group-significance does not report an R2 value. You could use `qiime diversity adonis` instead, which does report an R2 value.

Good luck!
