Hi, I am new to bioinformatics and do not have much biology knowledge. I need to use some ASV (amplicon sequence variant) data, and I do not know where to begin to understand what the data means or how it is derived.
ASV_1, ASV_2, ASV_3, ........, ASV_308, ASV_319, ASV_351, ASV_352
2.3442, 1.49628 11.76248, ........, 0, 0, 0, 0
5.343, 0, 13.3471, ........, 0, 0, 0, 0
5.4518, 0, 14.58453, ........, 0, 0, 0, 0
Please tell me, what are the column headers ASV_1, ASV_2, etc, and what do they mean? What are the values (i.e. the real numbers) supposed to indicate?
What is "abundance" wrt ASV supposed to mean? Any links or pointers to papers or tutorials will be appreciated.
Thanks,
