Docstring:
Usage: qiime diversity-lib unweighted-unifrac [OPTIONS] Compute Unweighted Unifrac for each sample in a feature table Inputs: --i-table ARTIFACT FeatureTable[Frequency | RelativeFrequency | PresenceAbsence] The feature table containing the samples for which Unweighted Unifrac should be computed. [required] --i-phylogeny ARTIFACT Phylogenetic tree containing tip identifiers that Phylogeny[Rooted] correspond to the feature identifiers in the table. This tree can contain tip ids that are not present in the table, but all feature ids in the table must be present in this tree. [required] Parameters: --p-threads NTHREADS The number of CPU threads to use in performing this calculation. May not exceed the number of available physical cores. If threads = 'auto', one thread will be created for each identified CPU core on the host. [default: 1] --p-bypass-tips / --p-no-bypass-tips In a bifurcating tree, the tips make up about 50% of the nodes in a tree. By ignoring them, specificity can be traded for reduced compute time. This has the effect of collapsing the phylogeny, and is analogous (in concept) to moving from 99% to 97% OTUs [default: False] Outputs: --o-distance-matrix ARTIFACT DistanceMatrix Distance matrix for Unweighted Unifrac. [required] Miscellaneous: --output-dir PATH Output unspecified results to a directory --verbose / --quiet Display verbose output to stdout and/or stderr during execution of this action. Or silence output if execution is successful (silence is golden). --example-data PATH Write example data and exit. --citations Show citations and exit. --use-cache DIRECTORY Specify the cache to be used for the intermediate work of this action. If not provided, the default cache under $TMP/qiime2/will be used. IMPORTANT FOR HPC USERS: If you are on an HPC system and are using parallel execution it is important to set this to a location that is globally accessible to all nodes in the cluster. --help Show this message and exit.

This tree can contain tip ids that are not present in the table, but all feature ids in the table must be present in this tree. threads : Threads, optional The number of CPU threads to use in performing this calculation. May not exceed the number of available physical cores. If threads = 'auto', one thread will be created for each identified CPU core on the host. bypass_tips : Bool, optional In a bifurcating tree, the tips make up about 50% of the nodes in a tree.
