Phase 3: Measure diversity and other statistical analysis
OTU information (number of OTUs, abundance of OTUs) and the phylogenetic tree generated from the phase 2 is utilized to estimate diversity within and between samples. Additional statistical analysis to test the significance of the diversities can also be done.
Input: classified OTU table with abundance, phylogenetic tree and sample metadata
Output: alpha and beta diversity metrics, distance matrix, results from statistical tests, rarefaction plots, PCoA plots, heatmaps
