How To Install r-bioc-dada2 on Debian 12

Learn how to install r-bioc-dada2 on Debian 12 with this tutorial. r-bioc-dada2 is sample inference from amplicon sequencing data

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-bioc-dada2 on Debian 12.

What is r-bioc-dada2

r-bioc-dada2 is:

The dada2 package contributes to software workflows to interpret sequencing data from microbiota - the relative abundance of bacterial and/or yeast, typically measured in the gut. It infers exact amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) from high-throughput amplicon sequencing data, replacing the coarser and less accurate OTU clustering approach. The dada2 pipeline takes as input demultiplexed fastq files, and outputs the sequence variants and their sample-wise abundances after removing substitution and chimera errors. Taxonomic classification is available via a native implementation of the RDP naive Bayesian classifier, and species-level assignment to 16S rRNA gene fragments by exact matching.
