Metastats

[…] to identify which features (i.e. species) are differentially abundant between two populations, beta diversity estimations between populations on a species and genera basis were accomplished with the metastats plugin in mothur v. 1.36.1, using 1000 permutations and default parameters []. as metastats assumes the non-normal distribution of data, it runs a modified nonparametric t-test to assign […]

[…] values in the wt controls., all the data are presented as the means ± sem. the comparisons of the relative abundances of microflora were analyzed using the differentially abundant features program (metastats, http://metastats.cbcb.umd.edu). a one-way of analysis of variance followed by bonferroni’s post hoc test for multiple comparisons was used to analyze mn survival and glial activation. […]

[…] hypothesis testing was performed to test whether the differential clustering of the pbs samples in the dendrograms was significant. differences in the 30 most abundant otus were assessed using the metastats command in mothur and p-values for differences in individual otus were corrected for multiple comparisons using bonferroni correction. values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically […]

[…] from the ncbi until december 2017 at the one codex data platform (https://app.onecodex.com/references)., wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to examine the significance of alpha diversity indices. metastats [], described in detail in our previous studies [,], was used to obtain the relative abundance differences of microbial communities between groups (groups = 2, samples per group ≥ 3). […]

[…] in “vegan”. similarity percentage (simper) procedure implemented in “vegan” was used to quantify the contribution of individual otus to the overall bray-curtis dissimilarity between the groups. “metastats” [] was used to test for otus and orders with statistically significant differential abundances between the exposure groups. only otus containing more than 0.1% of the total number of reads […]

[…] firmicutes and proteobacteria constituted the four most dominant phyla of bacterial communities in grass carp with different yc treatments, followed by ckc4 and verrucomicrobia (fig. a). metastats‐based analysis of differential abundances among these phyla found that fusobacteria (21.47 ±3.11%, p = 0.050) and ckc4 (3.19 ± 0.71%, p = 0.016) were significantly decreased in treat3, […]
