Update QIIME2 incl. barplot & diversity analysis #962

Description

@d4straub

Description of feature

The pipeline in version 2.16.1 uses QIIME2 v2024.10. Newer QIIME2 versions offer some relevant improvements.

An update to QIIME2 v2026.4 could come with the following improvements:

  • more robust version of diversities with q2 kmerizer & boots instead of q2 diversity (v2025.10) explained here
  • new interactive barplot (v2026.1) (seems to be postponed, not yet in v2026.04.0)
  • reporting with qiime tools make-report (the report cannot be viewed as html directly, as described here)
  • use containers on quay? (v2026.04.0 is out since 3 weeks but no container yet)
  • providing e as the base to Shannon's Diversity Index (the shannon-entropy action, default 2) will match the Shannon values generated by vegan, scikit-bio, and other tools
  • addition of ANCOM-BC2 explained here: qiime composition ancombc2, identical to ancombc but qiime composition ancombc2-visualizer instead of da-barplot (v2025.4)

Possibly that has to be broken down into smaller PRs...
