MicrobiomeAnalyst

-- comprehensive statistical, visual and meta-analysis of microbiome data

Starting from marker gene abundance data (OTU table, BIOM file, mothur output)

Visually exploring your 16S rRNA data with a public data in a 3D PCoA plot

Starting from gene list or gene abundance data annotated by KO, EC or COG

Starting with a list of taxa of interest (strains, species or higher level taxa)

MDP

Marker Data Profiling (MDP): Comprehensive composition & diversity analysis supporting various methods of data overview, alpha diversity and beta-diversity; comparative analysis supporting multiple differential abundance methods (metagenomeSeq, LEfSe, edgeR, DESeq2, etc.); as well as prediction of metabolic potentials.

SDP

Shotgun Data Profiling (SDP): Functional diversity profiling based on KEGG annotations (modules, pathways, metabolisms, EC) or COG categories, direct functional association testing, as well as differential abundance analysis followed by functional enrichment analysis within a powerful metabolic network visualization system.

TSEA

Taxon Set Enrichment Analysis (TSEA): Enrichment analysis using ~2400 manually collected taxon sets organized into 11 different categories. They are defined based on their shared phenotypic traits or ecological niches, or their associations with host genetic variations, lifestyles, biochemistry, diseases, developmental stages, etc.

PPD

Projection with Public Data (PPD): Co-processing your data together with a suitable public 16S rRNA data of interest and explore the results within an interactive 3D PCoA visualization system to easily discover patterns of interest as well as to associate these patterns with the underlying taxonomic variations.
