Hello,

 

I am a graduate student at UIC majoring in Biostatistics. I am working with genome data for my summer assistant program, and came across problems related to finding differential characteristics of species/taxons etc.

 

Lefse seems like a promising package for this problem which claims to include biological relevance using prior knowledge. Now I went through the diagram, which shows prior knowledge from NCBI, RDP etc. Could you share the data sources? or what it means by known dependence between features etc? If I understand the context correctly, we find some difference in characteristics from our research, and compare it to some known history/information which helps me validate my findings? 

 

 

Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Respectfully,

 

Debarghya
