Hi Hannah,

I know that Xia Lab @ McGill have launched a user-friendly online platform for working with 16S data (http://www.microbiomeanalyst.ca/), although I have never used it.

I frequently use their well-established MetaboAnalyst platform with great success and so I would recommend trying MicrobiomeAnalyst.

The homepage shows a link to Projection with Public Data, in which you should be able to generate PCoAs.

All the best,

Paul

Hello Hannah,

try this link for codes required for pco plots. You can always change the type of distance matrix.

I hope this helps.

I would suggest also the R package phyloseq: http://joey711.github.io/phyloseq/

Thanks everyone!

This is probably the easiest platform to use and very user friendly. Try PAST v3.19 found at this link: https://folk.uio.no/ohammer/past/

Primer-7 (http://www.primer-e.com/) is for me the easiest way.
