Is this the single sample file? If so, can we integrate with the current repo structure?

[jwdebelius]

The state names are corrected in the new version, so we shouldn't need to update. But, we're currently storing state information for states outside of the US and that can give weird results.

That sounds good. Is there anything I can do on my end to help?

Based on the notes that came in october, this used to be Bray-Curtis distance. Is there a reason to use Canberra here over Bray-Curtis or UniFrac?

[AshkaanF]

I thought Canberra had better behaved residuals. Can revert to Bray if you prefer.
