Qiime gneiss assign-ids

[Matilda_H-D]

Sorry @mortonjt but I have yet another question about gneiss!

Would you mind going over the purpose of the command qiime gneiss assign-ids? When and why would you apply it? It’s not mentioned in the gneiss tutorial … From looking at the plugin pages, I’m guessing you would use it after clustering and before the ILR transform and regression?

Thank you!
Matilda

Hi @Matilda_H-D, the assign-ids command is available just in case one would like to pass in a Phylogeny[Rooted] Artifact to enable the use of phylogenetic trees. This is so that one can incorporate the use of phylogenetic trees without having to perform clustering.
