title: Calculating α and β diversity from microbiome taxonomic data
zenodo_link: https://zenodo.org/records/13150694
questions:
- How many different taxons are present in my sample? How do I additionally take their relative abundance into account?
- How many different taxons are present in my sample? How do I additionally take their
relative abundance into account?
- How similar or how dissimilar are my samples in term of taxonomic diversity?
- What are the different metrics used to calculate the taxonomic diversity of my samples?
objectives:
- Explain what taxonomic diversity is
- Explain different metrics to calculate α and β diversity
- Explain different metrics to calculate α and β diversity
- Apply Krakentools to calculate α and β diversity and understand the output
