From @BWobbii: Tree needed to calculate Faith's PD indicator

Notes

BWobbii commented 1 year ago

I double-checked phyloseq requirements for the tree format - must be Newick or Nexus yes, codon-aware aligner sounds good!

kbseah commented 1 year ago

@BWobbii i ended up choosing scikit-bio for the Faith's PD calculation, it is from a group of developers who also developed QIIME and BIOM

One question: does rooting the tree influence the index? From what I understand it shouldn't but maybe there is something I have overlooked.
