Samples a table of class ame consisting of biological samples as rows, and associated information as columns. "positive" for DNA extraction or PCR positive controls, i.e. pcr amplifications of known biological samples or DNA template (e.g. a mock community).
"sequencing" for sequencing negative controls, i.e. unused tag/library index combinations."pcr" for PCR negative controls, i.e. pcr amplification where the DNA template was replaced by PCR buffer or sterile water."extraction" for DNA extraction negative controls, i.e. PCR amplification of an extraction where the DNA template was replaced by extraction buffer.NA if type="sample", i.e. for any PCR obtained from a biological sample.
Only five values are possible in this field: Only two values allowed: "sample" or "control". type : the type of PCR, either a sample or an experimental control amplification.sample_id: a vector indicating the biological sample origin of each PCR (e.g. the sample name).This table can also include information relating to the PCR design, such as the well coordinates and plate of each PCR, the tag combinations specific of the PCR, the primers used, etc. This table is particularly important in metabaR, as it contains all the information related to the extraction, PCR and sequencing protocols and design that are necessary to assess and improve the quality of metabarcoding data (Taberlet et al. pcrs a table of class ame consisting of PCRs as rows, and PCR attributes as columns.Examples of other attributes that can be included in this table are the MOTU taxonomic information, the taxonomic assignment scores, MOTU sequence GC content, MOTU total abundance in the dataset, etc. A mandatory field in this table is the field “sequence”, i.e. the DNA sequence representative of the MOTU. Motus a table of class ame where MOTUs are listed as rows, and their attributes as columns. The number of reads for each MOTU in each PCR is given in each cell, with 0 corresponding to no reads. Reads a table of class matrix consisting of PCRs as rows, and molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) as columns.
#OBITOOLS TUTORIQ HOW TO#
Some way to use obitoolsĪ complete tutorial, demonstrating how to analyse DNA metabarcoding data using OBITools is available here Download and install OBIToolsįor a full description of the installation procedure, please consult the OBITools documentation.The basic data format used in metabaR is a metabarlist, a list of four tables: By using the command autocompletion behavior of your unix shell you can have easily access to all the command name. Most of the OBITools programs' names start by `obi`. A complete documentation is available here They follow the standard Unix interface for command line program, allowing to chain a set of commands using the pipe mecanism.Īll these programs have a option printing a small online help to describe the different options accepted by the programs. The OBITools programs aims to help you to manipulate various data and sequence files in a convenient way using the Unix command line interface. Other input formats like genbank or embl are supported too as well as formats related to ecoPCR. They mainly provide facilities to manipulate sequence files in Fasta and FastQ format.
