Perform a Wilcoxon rank-sum test or Mann-Whitney U-test (non-parametric test). Takes measurements of genes/compounds/bugs/metabolites etc in healthy
(control) individuals and individuals with some disease. Then does a Wilcoxon rank-sum test to find out how many of these genes/compounds/metabolites/bugs, etc are differentially abundant in healthy vs. disease in a statistically significant manner. Also generates box plots for each of the measured genes/compounds/bugs/metabolites. The data for healthy individuals and individuals with some disease must be supplied in separate files. The rows will represent different measured genes/compounds/bugs/metabolites
and the columns will be different individuals.
