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:
For instance the only Principal Components Analysis currently supported is implied by the unconstrained call to the Redundancy Analysis (rda) function in vegan. There are many ways to perform a PCA in R, including some in the core R distro, and so at least some of these obvious ones should be supported:
Hi there,
How can I extract my PCs when using RDA function, or Ordinate function from phyloseq package?
Finally how can I perform a PCA using only bacterial genus or other taxonomic rank?
Thanks in advance
