This package contains all of the curated datasets from MicrobiomeDB.org. It is an extension to the MicrobiomeDB R package which can be used to analyze and visualize these data. That package is installed and attached with this one.
Direct Usage
You can get a list of all curated datasets available within this package by doing the following:
microbiomeData::getCuratedDatsetNames()
myData <- microbiomeData::DiabImmuneOnce you have your favorite dataset as myData, you can ask for specific collections from that dataset. A collection is any group of variables that represent a biologically coherent concept and are measured over a comparable range. Relative abundances at a specific taxonomic rank are an example. That might look something like:
getCollectionNames(myData) # will print the names of collections
myCollection <- getCollection(myData, '16S (V4) Species')
