The problem about alpha diversity

[Doc.chen (chen hongyu)]

Hi there

at this time, after finish all the instructions，i just found that i couldn’t look at the data of alpha diversity, such as chao and shannon et al. So i continue to follow the guide https://docs.qiime2.org/2020.2/plugins/available/diversity/alpha/
and outputs chao1 alpha-diversity，but i have no ideal how to visulaization this data.
thanks for your help!
I am more and more proficient in the use of qiime2

Hi!
You can check visualizers here:
https://docs.qiime2.org/2020.2/plugins/available/diversity/#visualizers
For example, this one to compare different grops of samples:
https://docs.qiime2.org/2020.2/plugins/available/diversity/alpha-group-significance/
Or to check correlations with some metadata columns:
https://docs.qiime2.org/2020.2/plugins/available/diversity/alpha-correlation/
If you have several time-points, you also can check this one:
https://docs.qiime2.org/2020.2/plugins/available/longitudinal/volatility/

Also, inside of .qzv and .qza files you can find all the data and, if necessary, you always can visualize it outside of Qiime2

Hi @Doc.chen,

The tutorials have some examples of how to use it. Perhaps the PD mice tutorial can help show some options.

Best,
Justine
