Metagenomics of microbes associated using V3-V4 region of the 16S  ribosomal RNA
Analyses were performed on Fedora Workstation 39 (64-bit) using Miniforge v3 to create two conda environments: "qc" (FastQC v0.12.1, MultiQC v1.19, BBMap v38.18/BBDuk) and "qiime2" (QIIME2 v2023.9), with statistical analyses conducted in R using phyloseq and microbiological packages.
