Hello, I need to run LEFSe after Qiime2 pipeline.
First I do follow steps to export relative frequency data and convert file format.
Get genus(level 6 of silver) ralativate frequency and convert file format.

# extract level 6 data
qiime taxa collapse \
--i-table table-dada2.qza \
--i-taxonomy taxonomy/taxonomy.qza \
--p-level 6 \
--o-collapsed-table table-level6.qza

# get relative frequency data
qiime feature-table relative-frequency \
--i-table table-level6.qza \
--o-relative-frequency-table frequency-table-level6.qza \
--output-dir aollapse.ferquency/

# export data
qiime tools export \
--input-path frequency-table-level6.qza \
--output-path aollapse.ferquency/

# convert to tsv
biom convert \
-i aollapse.ferquency/feature-table.biom \
-o LEfSe/frequency-table.txt \
--header-key "taxonomy" \
--to-tsv

# Last, modify frequency-table.txt by adding 2 rows of class and sub class.

Then, run LEFSe pipeline.

# convert file format
format_input.py frequency-table.txt frequency-table.in -c 1 -s 2 -u 3

# run analysis
run_lefse.py frequency-table.in frequency-table.res

Here rise an error, message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

     res = super(Function, self).__call__(*new_args, **new_kwargs)

May this error caused by many 0 in relative frequency data. A few lines and columns in frequency-table.txt

How to solve such problem, thanks! Its there any other tools can do the same analyse like LEFSe ?

Hello, I learned a lot about ANCOM after this post. I think ANCOM maybe a better choice to compare between groups, except the plot output is not beauty.
