title: How to group biological samples by colonization similarity using python?
body: <p>folks.</p>
  <p>I have several groups of biological samples with different biological groups that colonize specific áreas (ex: 1BB, 2MN) of a vessel.
  For example:</p>
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/oLFpH.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/oLFpH.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>I usually plot all those samples in a dendrogram using Bray Curtis similarity, using primer.</p>

  <p>My main question is:
  What can I use to group these áreas of the vessel (samples) by the similarity of colonization? Is it a cluster? A PCO? And how can I do it on python?</p>
  <p>Sorry, it’s a little disorganized, I’m doing my best to explain my workflow.</p>
