Hi,

I am trying to use vegan bioconducter package for beta diversity and permutation analysis for amplicon data but it is giving distance according to ASV instead of sample names, please help me with it.

> werra_sp <- read.table("convent.fert.root.count.txt",header=T,sep='\t',check.names=F,row.names=1)
    > werra_env <- read.table("werra.env.txt",header=T,sep='\t',check.names=F,row.names=1)
    > str(werra_sp)
    'data.frame':   1327 obs. of  18 variables:

     $ Root-19.S46.L001: int  44 0 52 16 13 0 0 32 7 0 ...

     $ Root-22.S56.L001: int  0 0 114 0 0 0 0 40 7 0 ...

    > str(werra_env)
