Summary:
Pavian is a web application for exploring classification results from metagenomics experiments. With Pavian, researchers can analyze, visualize and transform results from various classifiers-such as Kraken, Centrifuge and MethaPhlAn-using interactive data tables, heatmaps and Sankey flow diagrams. An interactive alignment coverage viewer can help in the validation of matches to a particular genome, which can be crucial when using metagenomics experiments for pathogen detection.
Availability And Implementation:
Pavian is implemented in the R language as a modular Shiny web app and is freely available under GPL-3 from http://github.com/fbreitwieser/pavian.
