Hi everyone! I hope you all are fine. I have tried many tutorials regarding the calculation of alpha and beta diversity, however, my RStudio is throwing up so many issues. Packages aren't getting installed due to some compatibility issues. That's another discussion. However, may I request you all to kindly guide me in calculating these diversity indices?
What R script should I follow to calculate the Alpha and Beta- diversity indices. People have told me to use vegan, but how to go about it?
P.S. My input taxonomic data comes from Kraken2, so I have sample_kraken_report.txt for all my samples.
You probably need to get some fundamental understanding of data analysis or your data type.
Moreover, you cannot calculate anything with just taxonomic annotations.
