QIIME 2 FMT Book
This tutorial was orignally made for the 2024 ITN / QIIME 2 Workshop, taught 27 - 29 August 2024 at the National Institutes of Health.

This tutorial will walk you through all the functionality available in q2-fmt. We will start with a metadata file and feature table. We will discuss choosing an even sampling depth and generating diversity metrics so that we are prepared to run our data through q2-fmt. Grab a cup of coffee or tea ☕, and lets jump right in!
