Hello all,
What are the units of the branch lengths for the UPGMA and neighbor joining "trees" built with UniFrac and the other distance metrics? My reading suggests that it is an arbitrary number based on the distance matrix. But then what should be specified in the Figure legends of publications?
Thanks,
Angus
