Does anyone know where to download or purchase the fortran program DISTLM for PERMANOVA (Anderson 2005)? I am currently analyzing Miseq data and need it for testing the significance of the treatment on microbial community composition. Our group is going to purchase the PRIMER program, but it takes time to proceed as it is summer holiday season here.
Hello Lijuan Yan.
In the PAST (Paleontological Statistics) software you can also perform One-way and Two-way PERMANOVA. Past is free software for scientific data analysis, this is the link to the page where you can download:

Thanks Enrique for your quick response. I used PAST before. I know that it can only handle a small dataset. It is not working well for big dataset such as NGS data.
Hi Lijuan,
It seems that the web pages with original Fortran program from Marti J. Anderson is no longer maintained.
Nevertheless, you can easily calculate perMANOVA using adonis() function in vegan package for R (for free:)
Hope this helps.
Best,
martin
Thanks Martin. I was thinking to use R if I don't get PRIMER or DISTLM in the following week. Since I used the other Fortran program CAP that was produced by the same person M. J. Anderson, I would prefer DISTLM to R. Any way, thanks a lot for the reply.
Did you find the programs? I have copies of all except DISTLM_forward.

Thank you Jane. Our research group bough Primer software two months ago. Now I have all I need. Best wishes!
Lijuan, did you find it? If not, let me know and I can PM the files to you.
