The purpose of this project is to 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.
Plotly was used to plot all charts.
The D3 library was used to read in the input file samples.json.
The elements of the dashboard:
- A dropdown menu to select a sample.
- A horizontal bar chart to display the top 10 OTUs found in the selected individual.
- A bubble chart that displays each sample.
- An individual's demographic information. Each key-value pair from the metadata JSON object is displayed.
- The Gauge Chart from https://plot.ly/javascript/gauge-charts/ was adapted to plot the weekly washing frequency of the individual.
- All of the plots are updated any time that a new sample is selected.
