Abstract:

Differential abundance (DA) analysis of microbiome data continues to be a challenging problem due to the complexity of the data. In this talk we describe a recent methodology called Analysis of Compositions of Microbiomes with Bias Correction (ANCOM-BC) [Lin, Peddada, Nature Comm. 2020], which estimates the unknown sampling fractions and corrects the bias induced by their differences among samples. The abundance data are modeled using a linear regression framework. This formulation (a) provides a statistically valid test with appropriate p-values, (b) provides confidence intervals for differential abundance of each taxon, (c) controls the False Discovery Rate (FDR) under appropriate conditions while maintaining high power, and (d) is computationally simple to implement.
