ampvis2: A guide to ordination and how to use amp_ordinate in R

(This post is part of a series of ongoing posts about selected ampvis2 features) A common way for microbial ecologists to compare the microbial communities of different samples is by using ordination methods. These methods seek to highlight differences between samples based on their microbial community composition. By plotting samples as points in an x/y-plane, […]

Analysing amplicon data, how easy does it get?
