In other news, I just had the great pleasure of teaching at #EBAME10 in Brittany 🇫🇷🥐.
For this workshop, I made a tutorial showing how to use radEmu with the taxonomic profiling output of #anvio 😍😻

The StatDivLab is getting excited for #STAMPS2025 and working on our lectures for 🤩 Stats Day 😻.
We ran this think-pair-share activity last year and, wow, the ensuing discussion was *very* engaged 😹😅
Reach out if you'd like to attend! Woods Hole, MA, July 14-24 2025. #microbiome #dataanalysis

The paper has a detailed example you can walk through, and we analyze a subset of the data in the vignette.
The paper also has a comparison to other methods!
p-values are more conservative -- we believe this reflects a lower false positive rate -- and *never* missing.

The real magic of radEmu is that it estimates differential abundance on the "absolute" DNA/cell count scale... using shotgun or amplicon data!
For real!
How does it work?
