Welcome @knagano

For a scientific discussion about aphla rarefaction curves, please see these tutorials at the Galaxy Training Network (GTN).

- 🎓 Mothur [Hands-on: 16S Microbial Analysis with mothur (extended) / 16S Microbial Analysis with mothur (extended) / Microbiome](https://galaxyproject.github.io/training-material/topics/microbiome/tutorials/mothur-miseq-sop/tutorial.html#diversity-analysis)
- 🎓 Phyloseq [Hands-on: Building an amplicon sequence variant (ASV) table from 16S data using DADA2 / Building an amplicon sequence variant (ASV) table from 16S data using DADA2 / Microbiome](https://galaxyproject.github.io/training-material/topics/microbiome/tutorials/dada-16S/tutorial.html#visualize-alpha-diversity)

Then, all of the QIMME2 tools are hosted in Galaxy but do not have a Galaxy-specific tutorial. The protocol methods can instead be found at the original tool author website.

- [alpha: Alpha diversity — QIIME 2 2024.10.1 documentation](https://docs.qiime2.org/2024.10/plugins/available/diversity/alpha/) → [Microbiome marker gene analysis with QIIME 2 - Microbiome marker gene analysis with QIIME 2](https://amplicon-docs.qiime2.org/en/latest/)

If you run into technical problems in Galaxy, you can ask questions here by [sharing your history](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/how-to-get-faster-help-with-your-question/11469) and we can try to help to solve the issue. You can also reach out at the [QIMME2 forum](https://forum.qiime2.org/) for scientific questions about the underlying tools and methods protocol.

Hope this helps! 🙂
