Venn Diagrams MiSeq Protocol

Theory behind mothur

Hi everyone

In the MiSeq protocol, is there any way of analyzing more than four samples at a time when employing the venn command?

I have 12 samples from a control group and 12 from a treatment group, so is there any way of analyzing 12 simultaneously?

Thank you

If you can find a way to represent a 12-way venn diagram, we’d be happy to incorporate it :slight_smile: As it stands, it will do all possible 4-way combinations.

You can’t do a 12- or 24-way Venn, but you can pool the replicates in each treatment group with the merge.groups() command.
