Microbiome differential abundance methods produce disturbingly different results across 38 datasets

Jacob T. Nearing, Gavin M. Douglas, Molly G. Hayes…·Morgan G. I. Langille

In 38 two-group 16S rRNA datasets, 14 differential abundance tools disagreed sharply; ALDEx2 and ANCOM-II were conservative and consistent, while edgeR and LEfSe inflated false positives.
