<h1> What is QIIME? <img src="images/spacer_dots.png" alt="..."></h1>
4
QIIME (pronounced "chime") stands for Quantitative Insights Into
5
Microbial Ecology. QIIME is an open source software package for
6
comparison and analysis of microbial communities, primarily based on
7
high-throughput amplicon sequencing data (such as SSU rRNA) generated
8
on a variety of platforms, but also supporting analysis of other types
9
of data (such as shotgun metagenomic data). QIIME takes users from
10
their raw sequencing output through initial analyses such as OTU
11
picking, taxonomic assignment, and construction of phylogenetic trees
12
from representative sequences of OTUs, and through downstream
13
statistical analysis, visualization, and production of
14
publication-quality graphics. QIIME has been applied to single studies
15
based on billions of sequences from thousands of samples.
