In vmikk/metagMisc: Miscellaneous functions for metagenomic analysis

Split phyloseq-class object for pairwise comparisons by sample-level variable.

Description

Split phyloseq-class object for pairwise comparisons by sample-level variable.

Usage

phyloseq_sep_pairwise(phys, group, comparis = "all", drop_zeroes = TRUE)

Arguments

phys	A phyloseq-class object
group	Variable name (contained in sample_data)
comparis	Character "all" for all possible pairwise comparisons (default), or a matrix with comparison names to use (similar to the output of combn with m=2)
drop_zeroes	Logical, indicating weather OTUs with zero abundance or samples with zero total abundance should be removed

Value

List with phyloseq objects (each with only two groups based on selected variable).

Examples

data(enterotype)

# Split enterotype data for pairwise comparisons by sequencing technology
ent <- phyloseq_sep_pairwise(enterotype, group = "SeqTech", drop_zeroes = TRUE)
ent

# Perform differential abundance testing for each of the pairwise comparisons
