Bacterial Diversity Dashboard

The challenge

Build an interactive dashboard to explore the Belly Button Biodiversity dataset, which catalogs the microbes that colonize human navels.

The dataset reveals that a small handful of microbial species (also called operational taxonomic units, or OTUs, in the study) were present in more than 70% of people, while the rest were relatively rare.

File Directory

• static folder holds app.js file where the bulk of our visuals are made
• data folder contains all the .json files used
• Images holds screenshots of the dashboard

Results

Operational taxonomic units(OTUs) are labeled with present count of baterial volume at time of measuring

Demographic info of the specific ID of patient displays when selected from dropdown
