Picrust 2 downstream analysis - which is suitable

[Verena Gschiel]

Dear Picrust community, 

I m organising a lecture about picrust2 and wondered what would be the best downstream analysis tool for the students. I had a look into STAMP, ggpicrust and AldexR. However, I am unsure what would be the easiest solution. The students get two microbiome datasets (each with 10 samples - based on 16S amplicon sequencing) and should do functional predictions on them.

Hi there,

We recently ran some workshops where we used PICRUSt2 and did some downstream analyses using Phyloseq and a few differential abundance methods. You can take a look at that here if you like: https://github.com/LangilleLab/microbiome_helper/wiki/CBW-2024-workshops
