UniFrac--an online tool for comparing microbial community diversity in a phylogenetic context.

BMC bioinformatics - 7 Aug 2006

Lozupone Catherine, Hamady Micah, Knight Rob

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Moving beyond pairwise significance tests to compare many microbial communities simultaneously is critical for understanding large-scale trends in microbial ecology and community assembly. Techniques that allow microbial communities to be compared in a phylogenetic context are rapidly gaining acceptance, but the widespread application of these techniques has been hindered by the difficulty of...
