User manual || Tutorial
Description: LEfSe (Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size) determines the features (organisms, clades, operational taxonomic units, genes, or functions) most likely to explain differences between classes by coupling standard tests for statistical significance with additional tests encoding biological consistency and effect relevance.
LEfSe is available as a Galaxy module, a Conda formula, a Docker image, and included in bioBakery (VM and cloud). For additional information, please refer to the LEfSe paper.
