# dada2
Exact sample inference from high-throughput amplicon data. Resolves real variants differing by as little as one nucleotide. Visit [the DADA2 website](https://benjjneb.github.io/dada2/index.html) for the most detailed and up-to-date documentation.
### Installation
The dada2 package binaries are available through Bioconductor:
```S
## try http:// if https:// URLs are not supported
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("dada2")
```
In order to install dada2 from source (and get the latest and greatest new features) see our [installation from source instructions](https://benjjneb.github.io/dada2/dada-installation.html).
### Documentation
