Background:

  • Microbiome research generates complex data requiring specialized bioinformatics skills.
  • Existing tools often have steep learning curves, limiting accessibility for many researchers and clinicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce MicrobiomeAnalyst, a user-friendly, web-based platform for comprehensive microbiome data analysis.
  • To provide a step-by-step protocol for utilizing its four distinct modules: MDP, SDP, PPD, and TSEA.
  • To empower researchers and clinicians with limited bioinformatics expertise to analyze microbiome data effectively.

Main Methods:

  • The platform integrates modules for Marker-gene Data Profiling (MDP), Shotgun Data Profiling (SDP), Projection with Public Data (PPD), and Taxon Set Enrichment Analysis (TSEA).
  • The protocol details data preparation, normalization, community profiling, feature identification, correlation, and classification analyses.
  • Functional profiling, meta-analysis, and visual exploration are demonstrated using SDP, PPD, and TSEA modules.

Main Results:

  • MicrobiomeAnalyst provides intuitive web interfaces for exploring preprocessed microbiome data.
  • The platform facilitates diverse analyses including statistical analysis, functional profiling, and comparison with public datasets.
  • The protocol outlines a complete workflow executable in approximately 70 minutes.

Conclusions:

  • MicrobiomeAnalyst serves as a comprehensive, accessible solution for microbiome data exploration.
  • It significantly lowers the barrier to entry for advanced microbiome data analysis.
  • The platform supports researchers in gaining deeper insights from their microbiome studies.
