For the next meeting I would like to discuss the following

  1. The new balance summaries that I have developed for qiime2 wrt to gneiss
  2. Some of the issues with unique identifiers with the TreeNode object (i.e. objects aren’t guaranteed to have names)

Note that the gneiss plugin is ready to go once the balance summaries get merged in. However, it would be even better if the unique identifiers problem could be solved before the workshop, since this would seriously clean up the interface.

I’d like to briefly review the new dada2 R package release (1.4) and bring up a couple questions related to the updated package features:

  1. Support for variable amplicon lengths (read: ITS)
  2. Changing default parameters: Q2 procedure?
  3. Allowing users to pool samples.

I would like to discuss the q2-sample-classifier plugin that I am working on. This plugin takes a feature table as input and predicts sample (meta)data values/classes as a function of feature composition. It is still in its early stages but I would like to discuss and get some input on:

  1. The core functionality and example visualizations
  2. additional method/visualizer ideas

I may be missing something obvious here, but how does one join these meetings?
