For this project, we are building an interactive dashboard to explore the Belly Button Biodiversity dataset, which gathers the microbes that colonize human navels.
This dataset shows that a small handful of microbial species (a.k.a. operational taxonomic units, or OTUs, in the study) were present in more than 70% of people, while the rest were relatively rare.

Compare OTUs of the individual sample.
Compare OTUs on all of the samples in the bubble chart.
