phyloseq is a set of classes, wrappers, and tools (in R) to make it easier to import, store, and analyze phylogenetic sequencing data; and to reproducibly share that data and analysis with others. See the phyloseq front page:
I'm trying to merge four sequencing runs (each sequencing run has a mix of samples from the 4 different studies of interest and are all stool samples). My end goal is to have a single combined phyloseq object where I would have a metadata column which can distinguish between studies: study1, study2, study3, & study4. Can I use merge_phyloseq to combine these 4 sequencing runs and then generate a tree? Or is there something else I should do prior to merging since I am working with different studies?
