I have build a gut microbiome network using public data, which just contain less than 100 species as nodes. And, when I sum species' relative abundance(relative abundance has already contained in data source), the sum usually approximate 1, few of them is less than 1.
The sum of all sepcies is like:
for Subject 1——0.386438754
for Subject 2——0.876409099
0.96250785
0.936399192
0.917855736
0.908869477
0.936596676
0.974661414
Did I do something wrong? Could you kindly provide some advice?
Thank for your answer!
My question is 'Is the number of nodes in my network is too small for microbiome research?' However, recently, I taken part in a academic meeting, and found the network at their research sometimes is as small as mine. Therefore, the number of nodes is acceptable. Thanks.
