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?
Thanks,
