Bayesian approach to estimate microbial diversity

Is there any plans to include Quince’s Bayesian Diversity estimation into Mothur?

To me the approach looks quite convincing and it would be great to make it a part of my analysis routines when using Mothur!

Thanks,

Yeah, there are plans to do this, we just haven’t had a chance. From a mothur-perspective, it would probably be preferable to catchall (which is already in mothur) because you wouldn’t need the dependencies. It’s on the list.

Thanks for the nag :slight_smile:
