# q2-humann2 QIIME2 plugin for running HUMAnN2. ## Installation Q2-HUMAnN2 requires metaphlan2.py is in the ``$PATH``. Installation instructions can be found [here](https://bitbucket.org/biobakery/metaphlan2), and requires approximately a 3GB download which is not covered by the installation steps below. You can install the Q2-HUMAnN2 plugin through miniconda: ```bash conda create -n q2-humann2 python=3.5 source activate q2-humann2 conda install numpy pip install https://github.com/qiime2/qiime2/archive/master.zip https://github.com/qiime2/q2cli/archive/master.zip https://github.com/qiime2/q2-types/archive/master.zip https://github.com/qiime2/q2-feature-table/archive/master.zip https://github.com/wasade/q2-humann2/archive/master.zip humann2_databases --download uniref uniref90_ec_filtered_diamond . humann2_databases --download chocophlan full . ``` ## Example The Q2-HUMAnN2 plugin consumes a demultiplexed artifact from QIIME and produces gene family, pathway coverage and pathway abundance BIOM tables. ```bash qiime2 humann2 run --i-demultiplexed-seqs seqs.qza --output-dir results --p-threads=1 ``` The produced artifacts can then be fed into downstream QIIME diversity analyses: ```bash # commands adapted from q2-dada2 plugin readme and assumes the file # sample-metadata.tsv is in your current working directory and is relevant for # your data qiime diversity beta --i-table results/pathcoverage.qza --p-metric braycurtis --o-distance-matrix bray-curtis-dm qiime diversity pcoa --i-distance-matrix bray-curtis-dm.qza --o-pcoa bray-curtis-pc qiime emperor plot --i-pcoa bray-curtis-pc.qza --m-sample-metadata-file sample-metadata.tsv --o-visualization bray-curtis-emperor qiime tools view bray-curtis-emperor.qzv ```
