STAMP ('''St'''atistical '''A'''nalysis of '''M'''etagenomic '''P'''rofiles) is a software package for analyzing metagenomic profiles (e.g., a phylogenetic profile indicating the number of marker genes assigned to different taxonomic units or a functional profile indicating the number of sequences assigned to different biological subsystems or pathways) that promotes ‘best practices’ in choosing appropriate statistical techniques and reporting results. It encourages the use of effect sizes and confidence intervals in assessing biological importance. A user friendly, graphical interface permits easy exploration of statistical results and generation of publication quality plots for inferring the biological relevance of features in a metagenomic profile. STAMP is open source, extensible via a plugin framework, and available for all major platforms.

Using STAMP to identify SEED subsystems which are differentially abundant between Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis sequences obtained from a pair of enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) sludge metagenomes(data originally described in Parks and Beiko, 2010).

STAMP is a software package for analyzing taxonomic or metabolic profiles that promotes ‘best practices’ in choosing appropriate statistical techniques and reporting results. Statistical hypothesis tests for pairs of samples or groups of samples is support along with a wide range of exploratory plots. STAMP encourages the use of effect sizes and confidence intervals in assessing biological importance. A user friendly, graphical interface permits easy exploration of statistical results and generation of publication quality plots for inferring the biological relevance of features in a metagenomic profile.
