Microbiome Explorer: A new tool for analyzing microbial communities

           Analysis of microbial genomes has been of interest to biologist for long. The visualization of microbial communities through command line or through shiny package can been done and so they have been included in this system. The MicrobiomeExplorer package takes input in various formats like raw count tables etc.

The package has been developed in R language.The workflow of the package has been explained in Fig 1.  

Flow diagram for the MicrobiomeExplorer R package. Following sample preparation, sequencing and post-processing of reads by tools like Qiime2 and Mothur, counts, taxonomy and associated metadata can be uploaded into the MicrobiomeExplorer explorer. Modules include (i)quality control, (ii) intra-samples, (iii) inter-sample/intra-feature, (iv) correlation, (v) differential abundance and (vi) longitudinal analyses. Downstream of this, the MicrobiomeExplorer tool allows for downloadable reports
