We have created some R script to help you convert your SMarTaR-ID annotated data downloaded from Biigle into a format that is suitable for multivariate analysis. It also enables you to link the annotation labels to taxonomic data in the World Register of Marine Species https://www.marinespecies.org/, using their aphia ID numbers. You can download the code package from out github site here https://github.com/DeepSeaCRU/CRU-resources. Simply click on the green ‘code’ button and select ‘download zip’, then unzip the files somewhere useful on your computer
