I’ve generated biom files with summarize_taxa.py (default
all taxonomic levels). I’ve run the script to generate biom files with relative
abundances and biom files with absolute abundances by passing –a. Next, I ran
beta_diversity_through_plots.py with relative abundance biom files and I get
error: empty table! Subsequently, I ran beta_diversity_through_plots.py with
absolute abundance biom files and the script starts but then freezes. For both, I am using the default diversity
metrics, unweighted and weighted unifrac. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?
My goal is to generate distance matrices from biom files at different levels of taxonomic resolution.
Thanks for any guidance!
