亲爱的PICRUSt2开发者们,
非常感谢您开发了这样一个强大高效的工具。
我有一个关于PICRUSt2如何处理不同样本测序深度(文库大小)差异的问题。
我了解到在PICRUSt2的工作流程中,KO丰度会根据标记基因(例如16S rRNA基因)的预测拷贝数进行归一化。不过,我想澄清这种归一化是否也考虑了输入ASV丰度表的总测序深度(文库大小)的差异。
例如,如果两个样本的16S读段数量有显著差异,PICRUSt2是否在生成预测的KO/EC丰度前,内部考虑了这种差异?或者输入ASV文库大小的差异可以传递到预测的功能丰度中?
这一区分对于下游统计分析,尤其是差异丰度分析非常重要。如果PICRUSt2已经考虑了文库大小差异,这将影响在差分测试前如何归一化或转换所得的KO/EC丰度表。
请您详细说明PICRUSt2如何处理输入文库大小差异,以及您对预测功能丰度的下游差分分析建议采取何种措施?
非常感谢您的时间和开发PICRUSt2。
