OTUshuff

<p>OTUshuff is a set of tools written in Perl to identify and correct for the presence of pseudo-diversity in contrasts between microbial communities. The variably weighted Odum dissimilarity (DwOdum) allows for down-weighting the influence of either abundant or rare taxa in calculating a measure of similarity between two communities. We show that down-weighting the influence of rare taxa can be used to minimize pseudo b-diversity arising from incomplete sampling. Down-weighting the influence of abundant taxa can increase the sensitivity of hypothesis testing. OTUshuff is an associated test for identifying the presence of pseudo-diversity in pairwise community contrasts. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: OTUshuff.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/software/download/?softwareid=462&modecode=30-12-30-15">https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/software/download/?softwareid=462&modecode=30-12-30-15</a> </p><p>download page</p></li></ul><p></p>
