Hello BioStars community,
I am working with my 16S data and I am having difficulties interpreting the result of make_network
and plot_network
with default options.
# source('http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R')
# biocLite('phyloseq')
library('phyloseq')
b <- make_network(a, type="taxa",max.dis=0.5)
plot_network(b,a, type="taxa", label="Genus", color="Phylum")
I see that the default option uses distance="jaccard" and according to vegdist {vegan}, Jaccard index is computed as 2B/(1+B), where B is Bray–Curtis dissimilarity.
Can anyone help me to understand what taxa connection can be interpret?
Thanks
