scikit-bio

Overview

Targets scikit-bio 0.7.4. Use it for sequence manipulation, alignment, phylogenetics, microbial ecology, and multivariate statistics. Native tests exercise small synthetic fixtures; examples with filenames or undefined inputs are workflow templates. See review evidence and boundaries.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when the user:

  • Works with biological sequences (DNA, RNA, protein)

  • Needs to read/write biological file formats (FASTA, FASTQ, GenBank, Newick, BIOM, etc.)

  • Performs sequence alignments or searches for motifs

  • Constructs or analyzes phylogenetic trees

  • Calculates diversity metrics (alpha/beta diversity, UniFrac distances)

  • Performs ordination analysis (PCoA, CCA, RDA)

  • Runs statistical tests on biological/ecological data (PERMANOVA, ANOSIM, Mantel)

  • Analyzes microbiome or community ecology data

  • Works with protein embeddings from language models

  • Needs to manipulate biological data tables

Core Capabilities

1. Sequence Manipulation

Work with biological sequences using specialized classes for DNA, RNA, and protein data.

Key operations:

  • Read/write sequences from FASTA, FASTQ, GenBank, EMBL formats

  • Sequence slicing, concatenation, and searching

  • Reverse complement, transcription (DNA→RNA), and translation (RNA→protein)

  • Find motifs and patterns using regex

  • Calculate distances (Hamming, k-mer based)

  • Handle sequence quality scores and metadata

Common patterns:

import skbio

# Read sequences from file
seq = skbio.DNA.read('input.fasta')

# Sequence operations
rc = seq.reverse_complement()
rna = seq.transcribe()
protein = rna.translate()

# Find motifs
motif_positions = seq.find_with_regex('(ATG[ACGT]{3})')  # capture group required

# Check for properties
has_degens = seq.has_degenerates()
seq_no_gaps = seq.degap()

Important notes:

  • Use DNA, RNA, Protein classes for grammared sequences with validation

  • Use Sequence class for generic sequences without alphabet restrictions

  • FASTQ quality scores load into positional metadata; specify the known phred_offset=33 or variant (do not infer encoding from the filename). Translation needs an explicit genetic code/frame and a decision about incomplete codons.

  • Metadata types: sequence-level (ID, description), positional (per-base), interval (regions/features)

2. Sequence Alignment

Perform pairwise and multiple sequence alignments using the pair_align engine (introduced in scikit-bio 0.7.0), a versatile and efficient dynamic-programming aligner.

Key capabilities:

  • Global, local, and semi-global alignment (free ends configurable) in one function

  • Convenience wrappers pair_align_nucl (BLASTN-like) and pair_align_prot (BLASTP-like)

  • Configurable scoring: match/mismatch tuple or named substitution matrix; linear or affine gap penalties

  • PairAlignPath results carry CIGAR strings and convert to aligned sequences

  • Multiple sequence alignment with multi_align_nucl / multi_align_prot (0.7.4); storage and manipulation with TabularMSA

Common patterns:

from skbio import DNA, Protein
from skbio.alignment import pair_align_nucl, pair_align_prot, pair_align, TabularMSA

# Nucleotide alignment with BLASTN-like defaults
seq1, seq2 = DNA('ACTACCAGATTACTTACGGATCAGG'), DNA('CGAAACTACTAGATTACGGATCTTA')
aln = pair_align_nucl(seq1, seq2)
aln.score                                  # alignment score (float)
path = aln.paths[0]                        # PairAlignPath (repr shows CIGAR)
aligned_seqs = path.to_aligned((seq1, seq2))  # list of gapped strings

# Build a TabularMSA from the alignment path + original sequences
msa = TabularMSA.from_path_seqs(path, (seq1, seq2))

# Customize the algorithm via pair_align (default mode='global')
aln = pair_align(seq1, seq2, mode='local')                       # Smith-Waterman
aln = pair_align(seq1, seq2, sub_score=(2, -3), gap_cost=(5, 2), free_ends=False)
aln = pair_align(seq1, seq2, sub_score='NUC.4.4', gap_cost=3)    # substitution matrix, linear gap

# Protein alignment (BLASTP-like, BLOSUM62)
aln = pair_align_prot(Protein('HEAGAWGHEE'), Protein('PAWHEAE'))

# Read a multiple alignment from file and summarize
msa = TabularMSA.read('alignment.fasta', constructor=DNA)
consensus = msa.consensus()

Important notes:

  • pair_align replaces the removed SSW wrapper (local_pairwise_align_ssw, StripedSmithWaterman) and the deprecated pure-Python aligners (global_pairwise_align, local_pairwise_align_nucleotide, etc.)

  • The result is a PairAlignResult that also unpacks as score, paths, matrices (use keep_matrices=True to retain the DP matrix)

  • sub_score accepts a (match, mismatch) tuple or a matrix name (e.g., 'NUC.4.4', 'BLOSUM62'); gap_cost accepts a single number (linear) or (open, extend) tuple (affine)

  • mode="global" defaults to free terminal gaps (overlap); use free_ends=False for fully penalized global alignment. Affine gap cost is open + length × extend. Wrapper scoring resembles BLAST, but is not a BLAST search or E-value.

  • Parse external CIGAR strings with PairAlignPath.from_cigar('1I8M2D5M2I'); score an existing alignment with align_score(...) and build a distance matrix from an MSA with align_dists(...)

3. Phylogenetic Trees

Construct, manipulate, and analyze phylogenetic trees representing evolutionary relationships.

Key capabilities:

  • Tree construction from distance matrices (UPGMA/WPGMA, Neighbor Joining, GME, BME)

  • Tree rearrangement with nearest neighbor interchange (nni)

  • Tree manipulation (pruning, rerooting, traversal)

  • Distance calculations (patristic via cophenet, Robinson-Foulds via compare_rfd)

  • ASCII visualization

  • Newick format I/O

Common patterns:

from skbio import TreeNode
from skbio.tree import nj, upgma, gme, bme, rf_dists

# Read tree from file
tree = TreeNode.read('tree.nwk')

# Construct tree from distance matrix
tree = nj(distance_matrix)

# Tree operations
subtree = tree.shear(['taxon1', 'taxon2', 'taxon3'])
tips = [node for node in tree.tips()]
lca = tree.lca(['taxon1', 'taxon2'])

# Calculate distances
patristic_dist = tree.find('taxon1').distance(tree.find('taxon2'))
cophenetic_dm = tree.cophenet()           # patristic distance matrix among tips

# Compare two trees (Robinson-Foulds)
rf_distance = tree.compare_rfd(other_tree)
# Pairwise RF distances among many trees -> DistanceMatrix
rf_dm = rf_dists([tree, other_tree, third_tree])

Important notes:

  • Use nj() for neighbor joining (classic phylogenetic method)

  • Use upgma() for UPGMA/WPGMA (assumes molecular clock)

  • GME and BME are highly scalable for large trees; refine topology with nni()

  • cophenet() (formerly tip_tip_distances) returns the patristic distance matrix; compare_rfd() is the Robinson-Foulds method (compare_wrfd/compare_cophenet for weighted/cophenetic variants)

  • lca() is the lowest common ancestor; lowest_common_ancestor remains as an alias

  • NJ/GME/BME produce unrooted trees and clamp negative branches by default; record this choice. Rooting and sequence-distance models need scientific justification. RF comparisons must use a declared shared taxon set and rooting convention.

4. Diversity Analysis

Calculate alpha and beta diversity metrics for microbial ecology and community analysis.

Key capabilities:

  • Alpha diversity: richness (sobs, observed_features, chao1, ace), Shannon, Simpson, Hill numbers (hill), Faith's PD (faith_pd), generalized PD (phydiv), Pielou's evenness

  • Beta diversity: Bray-Curtis, Jaccard, weighted/unweighted UniFrac, Euclidean distances

  • Phylogenetic diversity metrics (require tree input)

  • Rarefaction and subsampling

  • Integration with ordination and statistical tests

Common patterns:

from skbio.diversity import alpha_diversity, beta_diversity

# Alpha diversity (phylogenetic metrics take taxa= for tip-name mapping)
alpha = alpha_diversity('shannon', counts_matrix, ids=sample_ids)
faith_pd = alpha_diversity('faith_pd', counts_matrix, ids=sample_ids,
                           tree=tree, taxa=feature_ids)

# Beta diversity
bc_dm = beta_diversity('braycurtis', counts_matrix, ids=sample_ids)
unifrac_dm = beta_diversity('unweighted_unifrac', counts_matrix,
                            ids=sample_ids, tree=tree, taxa=feature_ids)

# Get available metrics
from skbio.diversity import get_alpha_diversity_metrics
print(get_alpha_diversity_metrics())

Important notes:

  • Keep finite, nonnegative raw counts for count-based estimators and rarefaction; never manufacture counts by scaling proportions. Shannon/Bray-Curtis can accept nonnegative abundances, but normalization changes the scientific question. Reject empty samples explicitly.

  • The phylogenetic-metric argument is taxa= (renamed from otu_ids in 0.6.0; the old name is a deprecated alias); observed_otus is now observed_features (or sobs)

  • counts_matrix may be any table-like input (NumPy array, pandas/polars DataFrame, BIOM Table, or AnnData) via the dispatch system

  • Phylogenetic metrics (Faith's PD, UniFrac) require a rooted tree with branch lengths and unique ordered taxa-to-tip mapping

  • block_beta_diversity() supports block decomposition; pass a SciPy metric callable (e.g. scipy.spatial.distance.braycurtis) instead of its string for that path. Deprecated partial_beta_diversity() fills uncomputed pairs with zero; never send that matrix to PCoA or statistical tests.

  • Alpha diversity returns a pandas.Series, beta diversity returns a DistanceMatrix

5. Ordination Methods

Reduce high-dimensional biological data to visualizable lower-dimensional spaces.

Key capabilities:

  • PCoA (Principal Coordinate Analysis) from distance matrices

  • CA (Correspondence Analysis) for contingency tables

  • CCA (Canonical Correspondence Analysis) with environmental constraints

  • RDA (Redundancy Analysis) for linear relationships

  • Biplot projection for feature interpretation

Common patterns:

from skbio.stats.ordination import pcoa, cca
import skbio

# PCoA from distance matrix (limit dimensions for large matrices)
pcoa_results = pcoa(distance_matrix, dimensions=3)
pc1 = pcoa_results.samples['PC1']
pc2 = pcoa_results.samples['PC2']

# Built-in scatter plot colored by a metadata column
fig = pcoa_results.plot(sample_metadata, column='bodysite')

# CCA with environmental variables
cca_results = cca(species_matrix, environmental_matrix)

# Save/load ordination results
pcoa_results.write('ordination.txt')
results = skbio.OrdinationResults.read('ordination.txt')

Important notes:

  • PCoA accepts a valid distance matrix; non-Euclidean dissimilarities may have negative eigenvalues. Inspect warnings and retained variance; a 2D plot is not the full distance geometry. dimensions accepts a count or a float in (0, 1] (variance fraction).

  • OrdinationResults exposes pandas-based attributes: samples, features, eigvals, proportion_explained, biplot_scores, sample_constraints

  • CCA describes constrained associations, not causal environmental drivers. Align sample IDs first; avoid rank-deficient or overfit constraints.

  • OrdinationResults.plot() produces a matplotlib figure; results also integrate with seaborn/plotly

6. Statistical Testing

Perform hypothesis tests specific to ecological and biological data.

Key capabilities:

  • PERMANOVA: test group differences using distance matrices

  • ANOSIM: alternative test for group differences

  • PERMDISP: test homogeneity of group dispersions

  • Mantel test: correlation between distance matrices

  • Bioenv: find environmental variables correlated with distances

  • Differential abundance: ancom, dirmult_ttest, and dirmult_lme (longitudinal mixed-effects) in skbio.stats.composition

Common patterns:

from skbio.stats.distance import permanova, anosim, mantel

# Test if groups differ significantly
permanova_results = permanova(distance_matrix, grouping, permutations=999, seed=42)
print(f"p-value: {permanova_results['p-value']}")

# ANOSIM test
anosim_results = anosim(distance_matrix, grouping, permutations=999, seed=42)

# Mantel test between two distance matrices
mantel_results = mantel(dm1, dm2, method='pearson', permutations=999, seed=42)
print(f"Correlation: {mantel_results[0]}, p-value: {mantel_results[1]}")

# Differential abundance on a feature table (raw counts recommended)
from skbio.stats.composition import dirmult_ttest
da = dirmult_ttest(counts_table, grouping, treatment='caseA', reference='control', seed=42)

Important notes:

  • Permutation tests provide non-parametric significance testing

  • Choose permutations for the required precision; with 999 permutations the minimum p-value is 0.001. Record seed and versions. Built-in grouping tests use unrestricted permutations: repeated measures/blocks require a design-aware method outside this recipe.

  • PERMANOVA consumes the full distance matrix, not plotted PCoA axes. With permdisp, use dimensions=0 for all axes; its default 10 fails when n < 10 in 0.7.4. It is sensitive to dispersion; inspect PERMDISP and sample sizes. A nonsignificant dispersion test does not prove equal dispersions.

  • Mantel tests assess two-matrix association, not causality or adjustment for a third matrix. scikit-bio has no partial-Mantel argument. Align IDs and justify exchangeability; ANOSIM/Mantel do not repair confounding.

  • Supply differential-abundance tests with raw counts, not pre-normalized proportions, to preserve magnitude information

7. File I/O and Format Conversion

Read and write 19+ biological file formats with automatic format detection.

Supported formats:

  • Sequences: FASTA, FASTQ, GenBank, EMBL, QSeq

  • Alignments: Clustal, PHYLIP, Stockholm

  • Trees: Newick

  • Tables: BIOM 2.1 HDF5 through format="biom"; use biom.load_table for legacy JSON

  • Distances: delimited square matrices

  • Analysis: BLAST+6/7, GFF3, Ordination results

  • Metadata: use pandas TSV/CSV readers, then explicitly validate IDs, missingness, and types

Common patterns:

import skbio

# Read with automatic format detection
seq = skbio.DNA.read('file.fasta', format='fasta')
tree = skbio.TreeNode.read('tree.nwk')

# Write to file
seq.write('output.fasta', format='fasta')

# Generator for large files (memory efficient)
for seq in skbio.io.read('large.fasta', format='fasta', constructor=skbio.DNA):
    process(seq)

# Convert formats
seqs = skbio.io.read('input.fastq', format='fastq', constructor=skbio.DNA, phred_offset=33)
skbio.io.write(seqs, format='fasta', into='output.fasta')

Important notes:

  • Use generators for large files to avoid memory issues

  • Format can be auto-detected when into parameter specified

  • Some objects can be written to multiple formats

  • For file handles/pipes, specify the format and object/constructor; verify=False only skips format verification and is not a general validation bypass.

8. Distance Matrices

Create and manipulate distance/dissimilarity matrices with statistical methods.

Key capabilities:

  • Store symmetric (DistanceMatrix, hollow diagonal) or general pairwise (PairwiseMatrix) data

  • ID-based indexing and slicing

  • Integration with diversity, ordination, and statistical tests

  • Read/write delimited text format

Common patterns:

from skbio import DistanceMatrix
import numpy as np

# Create from array
data = np.array([[0, 1, 2], [1, 0, 3], [2, 3, 0]])
dm = DistanceMatrix(data, ids=['A', 'B', 'C'])

# Access distances
dist_ab = dm['A', 'B']
row_a = dm['A']

# Read from file
dm = DistanceMatrix.read('distances.txt')

# Use in downstream analyses
pcoa_results = pcoa(dm)
permanova_results = permanova(dm, grouping)

Important notes:

  • DistanceMatrix enforces symmetry and a zero (hollow) diagonal; it is a subclass of SymmetricMatrix

  • PairwiseMatrix (renamed from DissimilarityMatrix, which is kept as a deprecated alias) allows general/asymmetric values

  • IDs enable integration with metadata and biological knowledge

  • Compatible with pandas, numpy, and scikit-learn

9. Biological Tables

Work with feature tables (OTU/ASV tables) common in microbiome research.

Key capabilities:

  • BIOM 2.1 HDF5 I/O via Table (the biom-format class registered with scikit-bio)

  • Table dispatch system (0.7.0+): functions accept any table_like input — BIOM Table, pandas/polars DataFrame, NumPy array, or AnnData — without explicit conversion

  • Data augmentation techniques (phylomix, mixup, aitchison_mixup, compos_cutmix)

  • Sample/feature filtering and normalization

  • Metadata integration

Common patterns:

from skbio import Table
from skbio.diversity import beta_diversity

# Read BIOM table
table = Table.read('table.biom')

# Access data
sample_ids = table.ids(axis='sample')
feature_ids = table.ids(axis='observation')
counts = table.matrix_data

# Filter
filtered = table.filter(sample_ids_to_keep, axis='sample', inplace=False)

# Pass table-like objects directly to scikit-bio drivers (dispatch system)
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_table('data.tsv', index_col=0)   # samples x features
bdiv = beta_diversity('braycurtis', df)         # no manual conversion needed

Important notes:

  • BIOM tables are standard in QIIME 2 workflows

  • Table-like NumPy/DataFrame inputs use samples × features. A native BIOM Table.matrix_data uses features (observations) × samples; transpose only when manually extracting it for a samples-by-features API, and align both ID vectors. Passing the Table directly lets scikit-bio's dispatch handle orientation. See table conventions.

  • Supports sparse and dense representations

  • Return types are function-specific: diversity drivers return Series/DistanceMatrix. Only APIs documenting output_format support that output selection; do not assume universal preservation of input format.

10. Protein Embeddings

Work with protein language model embeddings for downstream analysis.

Key capabilities:

  • Store embeddings from protein language models (ESM, ProtTrans, etc.)

  • Convert embeddings to distance matrices

  • Generate ordination objects for visualization

  • Export to numpy/pandas for ML workflows

Common patterns:

import numpy as np
from skbio.embedding import (ProteinEmbedding, ProteinVector,
    embed_vec_to_numpy, embed_vec_to_dataframe)
from scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, squareform
from skbio import DistanceMatrix
from skbio.stats.ordination import pcoa

# One row per residue, not one row per sequence identifier
embedding = ProteinEmbedding(np.array([[-1., 0.], [0., 1.], [1., 1.]]), 'ACD')
# Demonstration mean pooling; exclude model special/padding tokens upstream
vectors = [ProteinVector(embedding.embedding.mean(axis=0), 'ACD'),
           ProteinVector([0., 1.], 'ACE'), ProteinVector([1., 0.], 'ACF')]
array = embed_vec_to_numpy(vectors)
dm = DistanceMatrix(squareform(pdist(array)), ids=['protein1', 'protein2', 'protein3'])
pcoa_results = pcoa(dm)
df = embed_vec_to_dataframe(vectors)

Important notes:

  • embed_vec_to_distances routes through abundance validation and rejects negative coordinates in 0.7.4. Use SciPy distances plus explicit sample IDs, as above, for signed embeddings.

  • Compatible with scikit-bio's distance/ordination/statistics ecosystem

  • embed_vec_to_ordination(vectors) performs SVD, not PCoA; for PCoA use the explicit distance pipeline above. Keep model/version/layer/pooling/normalization and sample identity metadata; embedding similarity is not evolutionary distance.

  • Vector helper IDs are sequence strings; preserve separate IDs when identical sequences represent distinct samples. Models and biological validation are outside this storage/analysis recipe.

Best Practices

Installation
uv pip install scikit-bio==0.7.4

Requires Python 3.10+ and NumPy 2.0+. Pre-compiled wheels are published for each release since 0.7.0, so most platforms install without a compiler. Conda users can instead run conda install -c conda-forge scikit-bio.

Performance Considerations
  • Use generators for large sequence files to minimize memory usage

  • For massive phylogenetic trees, prefer GME or BME over NJ

  • block_beta_diversity accepts a map_f for managed parallelism; in 0.7.4 PERMANOVA/Mantel/PERMDISP/UniFrac support optional engine="fast" (Numba if installed, otherwise Cython). Default engines remain unchanged.

  • BIOM format (HDF5) more efficient than JSON for large tables

Integration with Ecosystem

Use standard sequence formats for Biopython interoperability. Export BIOM/trees/distances from QIIME 2 first; .qza artifacts require QIIME 2 and carry separate provenance.

Common Workflows
  1. Microbiome diversity analysis: Read BIOM table → Calculate alpha/beta diversity → Ordination (PCoA) → Statistical testing (PERMANOVA)

  2. Phylogenetic analysis: Read sequences → Align → Build distance matrix → Construct tree → Calculate phylogenetic distances

  3. Sequence processing: Read FASTQ → Quality filter → Trim/clean → Find motifs → Translate → Write FASTA

  4. Comparative genomics: Read sequences → Pairwise alignment → Calculate distances → Build tree → Analyze clades

Alignment Methods

Pairwise Alignment

scikit-bio 0.7.0 introduced pair_align, a single fast engine for global, local, and semi-global alignment. The convenience wrappers pair_align_nucl and pair_align_prot ship with BLASTN/BLASTP-like scoring. The old SSW wrapper (local_pairwise_align_ssw, StripedSmithWaterman) was removed, and the pure-Python global_pairwise_align/local_pairwise_align_* functions are deprecated.

from skbio import DNA, Protein
from skbio.alignment import pair_align_nucl, pair_align_prot, pair_align, align_score

# Nucleotide alignment with BLASTN-like defaults
seq1 = DNA('ATCGATCGATCG')
seq2 = DNA('ATCGGGGATCG')
aln = pair_align_nucl(seq1, seq2)

# Inspect the result (PairAlignResult: score + paths [+ matrices])
print(f"Score: {aln.score}")
path = aln.paths[0]                       # PairAlignPath; repr shows the CIGAR
aligned_seqs = path.to_aligned((seq1, seq2))   # list of gapped strings

# Global alignment with custom affine scoring via pair_align
aln = pair_align(
    seq1, seq2,
    mode='global',
    free_ends=False,        # default True would be semi-global/overlap
    sub_score=(2, -3),      # (match, mismatch)
    gap_cost=(5, 2),        # (open, extend) -> affine; a single number -> linear
)

# Use a named substitution matrix instead of match/mismatch scores
aln = pair_align(seq1, seq2, mode='global', sub_score='NUC.4.4', gap_cost=3)

# Protein alignment with BLASTP-like defaults (BLOSUM62)
protein_query = Protein('ACDEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY')
protein_target = Protein('ACDEFMNPQRSTVWY')

Diversity Metrics

Alpha Diversity
from skbio.diversity import alpha_diversity, get_alpha_diversity_metrics
import numpy as np

# Sample count data (samples x features)
counts = np.array([
    [10, 5, 0, 3],
    [2, 0, 8, 4],
    [5, 5, 5, 5]
])
sample_ids = ['Sample1', 'Sample2', 'Sample3']

# List available metrics
print(get_alpha_diversity_metrics())

# Calculate various alpha diversity metrics
shannon = alpha_diversity('shannon', counts, ids=sample_ids)
simpson = alpha_diversity('simpson', counts, ids=sample_ids)
observed = alpha_diversity('observed_features', counts, ids=sample_ids)  # was 'observed_otus'
chao1 = alpha_diversity('chao1', counts, ids=sample_ids)
hill_q2 = alpha_diversity('hill', counts, ids=sample_ids, order=2)  # effective number of species

# Phylogenetic alpha diversity (requires tree). Note: taxa= replaces otu_ids=
from skbio import TreeNode

tree = TreeNode.read('tree.nwk')
feature_ids = ['OTU1', 'OTU2', 'OTU3', 'OTU4']

faith_pd = alpha_diversity('faith_pd', counts, ids=sample_ids,
                           tree=tree, taxa=feature_ids)
Beta Diversity
from skbio.diversity import beta_diversity

# Beta diversity (all pairwise comparisons)
bc_dm = beta_diversity('braycurtis', counts, ids=sample_ids)

# Jaccard (presence/absence)
jaccard_dm = beta_diversity('jaccard', counts, ids=sample_ids)

# Phylogenetic beta diversity (taxa= replaces the deprecated otu_ids=)
unifrac_dm = beta_diversity('unweighted_unifrac', counts,
                            ids=sample_ids,
                            tree=tree,
                            taxa=feature_ids)

weighted_unifrac_dm = beta_diversity('weighted_unifrac', counts,
                                     ids=sample_ids,
                                     tree=tree,
                                     taxa=feature_ids)

# For a subset, compute a COMPLETE matrix on selected samples.
subset_dm = beta_diversity('braycurtis', counts[:2], ids=sample_ids[:2])

Deprecated partial_beta_diversity leaves uncomputed pairs as zero (and does not resolve general SciPy metric strings such as braycurtis). Those zeros are not measured distances. Do not use it as input to ordination or permutation tests. For large complete calculations, block_beta_diversity supports a custom map_f; returning a dense matrix still costs quadratic storage. For SciPy metrics pass a callable, e.g. block_beta_diversity(scipy.spatial.distance.braycurtis, counts, ids=sample_ids), since this path delegates to the same restricted resolver.

Rarefaction and Subsampling
from skbio.stats import subsample_counts

# Rarefy to minimum depth
min_depth = int(counts.sum(axis=1).min())
if min_depth <= 0:
    raise ValueError("Remove or resolve empty samples before rarefaction")

rarefied = [subsample_counts(row, n=min_depth, seed=rng) for row in counts]

# Repeated rarefactions quantify subsampling variability, not biological confidence
import numpy as np
rarefactions = []
for i in range(100):
    rarefied_counts = np.array([subsample_counts(row, n=min_depth, seed=rng) for row in counts])

    rarefactions.append(shannon_rare)

# Calculate mean and std
mean_shannon = np.mean(rarefactions, axis=0)
std_shannon = np.std(rarefactions, axis=0)

Ordination

Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA)
from skbio.stats.ordination import cca
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# Species abundance matrix (samples x species)
species = np.array([
    [10, 5, 3],
    [2, 8, 4],
    [5, 5, 5]
])

# Environmental variables (samples x variables)
env = pd.DataFrame({
    'pH': [6.5, 7.0, 6.8]
})

# CCA
cca_results = cca(species, env,
                 sample_ids=['Site1', 'Site2', 'Site3'],
                 feature_ids=['SpeciesA', 'SpeciesB', 'SpeciesC'])

# Access constrained axes
cca1 = cca_results.samples['CCA1']
# One independent constraint gives one constrained axis; later axes are residual

# Biplot scores for environmental variables
env_scores = cca_results.biplot_scores
Redundancy Analysis (RDA)
from skbio.stats.ordination import rda

# Similar to CCA but for linear relationships
rda_results = rda(species, env,
                 sample_ids=['Site1', 'Site2', 'Site3'],
                 feature_ids=['SpeciesA', 'SpeciesB', 'SpeciesC'])

Statistical Tests

PERMANOVA
from skbio.stats.distance import permanova
from skbio import DistanceMatrix
import numpy as np

# Distance matrix
dm = DistanceMatrix(...)

# Grouping variable
grouping = ['Group1', 'Group1', 'Group2', 'Group2', 'Group3', 'Group3']

# Run PERMANOVA
results = permanova(dm, grouping, permutations=999, seed=42)

print(f"Test statistic: {results['test statistic']}")
print(f"p-value: {results['p-value']}")
print(f"Sample size: {results['sample size']}")
print(f"Number of groups: {results['number of groups']}")
ANOSIM
from skbio.stats.distance import anosim

# ANOSIM test
results = anosim(dm, grouping, permutations=999, seed=42)

print(f"R statistic: {results['test statistic']}")
print(f"p-value: {results['p-value']}")
PERMDISP
from skbio.stats.distance import permdisp

# Test homogeneity of dispersions; all axes (default dimensions=10 fails for n<10)
results = permdisp(dm, grouping, permutations=999, seed=42, dimensions=0)

print(f"F statistic: {results['test statistic']}")
print(f"p-value: {results['p-value']}")
Mantel Test
from skbio.stats.distance import mantel
from skbio import DistanceMatrix

# Two distance matrices to compare
dm1 = DistanceMatrix(...)  # e.g., genetic distance
dm2 = DistanceMatrix(...)  # e.g., geographic distance

# Mantel test
r, p_value, n = mantel(dm1, dm2, method='pearson', permutations=999, seed=42)

print(f"Correlation: {r}")
print(f"p-value: {p_value}")
print(f"Sample size: {n}")

# Spearman correlation
r_spearman, p, n = mantel(dm1, dm2, method='spearman', permutations=999, seed=42)
Statistical boundaries

mantel(x, y, ...) tests association of two distance matrices. It has no third matrix/partial-Mantel option; passing alternative='two-sided' does not adjust for covariates. Use a method that explicitly represents the study design when adjustment, blocked permutations, or repeated measures are required. The built-in PERMANOVA, ANOSIM, and PERMDISP examples use unrestricted label permutations. With 999 permutations, p-values have a minimum of 0.001; this is a resolution, not an assurance of robust inference. Report effect sizes, sample sizes, seeds, multiple-testing choices, and design limitations. PERMANOVA uses the original full distance matrix; PCoA is a parallel visualization, not its input reduction.

Distance Matrices

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions
Issue: Duplicate IDs or missing count provenance

Do not silently drop duplicate records. Determine whether they are technical replicates, distinct records with colliding labels, or true duplicates; preserve an explicit mapping when renaming or aggregating. A unique-ID check cannot resolve biological identity.

Do not turn proportions into invented counts with (abundance * 1000).astype(int). Obtain original counts for Chao1/ACE, rarefaction, and count-based inference. If only relative abundance is available, choose a compatible descriptive metric (such as Shannon or Bray-Curtis), disclose normalization, and do not imply that sampling-depth information was recovered. Validate finite/nonnegative values and empty samples yourself: the general diversity driver accepts floats and its validation does not establish count provenance or finite data.

Issue: Memory error with large files
# Problem: Loading entire file into memory
# Solution: Use generators
for seq in skbio.io.read('huge.fasta', format='fasta', constructor=skbio.DNA):
    # Process one at a time
    process(seq)
Issue: Tree tips don't match OTU IDs
# Problem: Mismatch between tree tip names and feature IDs
# Solution: Verify and align IDs
tree_tips = {tip.name for tip in tree.tips()}
missing_in_tree = set(feature_ids) - tree_tips
if missing_in_tree:
    raise ValueError(f"Features missing from tree: {sorted(missing_in_tree)}")
# Keep feature_ids ordered exactly as table columns. Extra tree tips are allowed.
# Optional shearing may change the root/stem; review rooting before UniFrac/PD.
Issue: Pairwise alignment receives already-gapped sequences
# Pairwise inputs may have different lengths; TabularMSA rows must already align.
# Degap only when deliberately recomputing alignment, preserving original data.
seq1_degapped = seq1.degap()
seq2_degapped = seq2.degap()
alignment = pair_align_nucl(seq1_degapped, seq2_degapped)
Performance Tips
  1. Use appropriate data structures: BIOM HDF5 for large tables, generators for large sequence files

  2. Parallel processing: Use block_beta_diversity(..., map_f=...) for a controlled mapper, or documented 0.7.4 compute engines. Incomplete pair matrices are not valid analysis inputs.

  3. Subsample large datasets: For exploratory analysis, work with subsampled data first

  4. Cache results: Save distance matrices and ordination results to avoid recomputation

Integration Examples
