MicrobiotaProcess: A comprehensive R package for deep mining microbiome.

ABSTRACT: The data output from microbiome research is growing at an accelerating rate, yet mining the data quickly and efficiently remains difficult. There is still a lack of an effective data structure to represent and manage data, as well as flexible and composable analysis methods. In response to these two issues, we designed and developed the MicrobiotaProcess package. It provides a comprehensive data structure, MPSE, to better integrate the primary and intermediate data, which improves the integration and exploration of the downstream data. Around this data structure, the downstream analysis tasks are decomposed and a set of functions are designed under a tidy framework. These functions independently perform simple tasks and can be combined to perform complex tasks. This gives use
