Open-source microbial ecology software for amplicon sequencing, community structure and diversity analysis.
mothur is open-source software for microbial ecology data analysis, commonly used for 16S rRNA amplicon data, OTU/ASV analysis, community structure, diversity and microbial ecology statistics.
Use cases: microbial ecology, 16S, amplicon sequencing, diversity analysis, community structure
Note: can be weighed against QIIME 2; the exact workflow depends on the sequencing platform and research goals.
