FunkyTax-package: Metagenome Functional and Taxonomic Relationships

Description Details Author(s) References

Description

Quantification of relationships between metagenome function abundances across a factor of interest and the microbiome community composition contributing to each function's frequency.

Details

Use TaFuR to parse a matrix of functions by OTUs by samples into individual community matrices for each function. Resulting matrices include only OTUs contributing to the respective function. TaFuR also performs Hellinger transformations (Legendre and Gallagher 2001) on the matrices, computes corresponding distance matrices, and performs ADONIS. Use CatFun to compare these results with those from DESeq2 (Love et al. 2014) to classify functions and community subsets into functional community categories.
