.SH NAME 
aq-mrpp-unifrac \- Compute Multi Response Permutation Procedure of within- versus among-group dissimilarities in R using the Unifrac distance matrix.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B aq-mrpp
.I flavour
.SH DESCRIPTION
Multiple Response Permutation Procedure (MRPP) provides a test of whether there is a significant difference between two or more groups of sampless. Samples are group based on all provided variables from the \fBmapping.txt\fR file. For each variable, two plots are produced: a multi-dimensional scaling and histogram of the differences among groups. This is done using the \fBvegan\fR R package. Unifrac distances are used between samples and must be provided from QIIME in a \fBbeta_div_\fIflavour\fB/weighted_unifrac_otu_table_\fIflavour\fB.txt\fR.
