belly-button-challenge

The JavaScript code in the Static folder generates a dashboard of data from the following dataset:

Hulcr, J. et al. (2012) A Jungle in There: Bacteria in Belly Buttons are Highly Diverse, but Predictable. Retrieved from: http://robdunnlab.com/projects/belly-button-biodiversity/results-and-data/

The dataset catalogs the microbes that colonize human navels. The microbial species are also known as operational taxonomic units, or OTUs, in the study.

Pulling the data from a json, the website dashboard allows users to look at individuals who were tested. The dashboard includes information about the individual, a bar chart of the top 10 OTUs found in the individual, and a bubble chart of all OTUs found and their frequency. The plots are generated in Plotly.

The website to view the data can be found here.
