Hello,every body.
In the folder "core-metrics-results",I have a file "shannon_vector.qza".This is from the results of :
qiime diversity core-metrics-phylogenetic
--i-phylogeny rooted-tree.qza
--i-table /share/disk0/user/16s/Download/table-dada2-3.qza
--p-sampling-depth 30908
--m-metadata-file metadata.tsv
--output-dir core-metrics-results
But ,I search the forum, that said I can use rarefied_table.qza to caiculate the diversity
qiime diversity alpha /
--i-table /share/disk0/user/16s/Analysis/try1/core-metrics-results/rarefied_table.qza /
--p-metric shannon /
--o-alpha-diversity shannon.qza
The "rarefied_table.qza" from "core-metrics-results" folder in sampling-depth 30908.
So,I have a quetion now. Is it the same result?
Meanwhile, I dont know which should I use in the below? And ,which is the "alpha-diversity" people often said ?
Thanks a lot
