Part 11 of “Microbiome Discovery” covers more statistical testing methods.

Part 10 of “Microbiome Discovery” covers some statistical testing methods.

I’m now through the third week of the MIS 766 course. It has continued to be a fairly low key course.

I got my hands on the raw data from my colleague. It’s roughly 4 gigs of data. I am not yet ready to dive into it, but I understand more about what I’m supposed to be doing.

Part 9 of “Microbiome Discovery” covers UniFrac, which is a metric used as part of the beta diversity measure.

Part 8 of “Microbiome Discovery” is a discussion of beta diversity. Beta diversity is a measure of the diversity of the biome between samples.

Part 7 of “Microbiome Discovery” is a discussion of alpha diversity. Alpha diversity is a measure of the diversity of the biome within a specific sample. This is done after picking OTUs and assigning taxonomies.
