The miaverse framework

The miaverse (mia = MIcrobiome Analysis) is an R/Bioconductor framework for microbiome data science. It aims to extend the capabilities of another popular framework, phyloseq.

The miaverse framework consists of an efficient data structure, an associated package ecosystem, demonstration data sets, and open documentation. These are explained in more detail in the online book Orchestrating Microbiome Analysis.

This training material walks you through an example workflow that shows the standard steps of taxonomic data analysis covering data access, exploration, analysis, visualization and reporoducible reporting. You can run the workflow by simply copy-pasting the examples. For advanced material, you can test and modify further examples from the OMA book, or try to apply the techniques to your own data.

Learning goals

This course provides an overview of the standard bioinformatics workflow in taxonomic profiling studies, ranging from data preprocessing to statistical analysis and reproducible reporting, with a focus on examples from human gut microbiota studies. You will become familiar with standard bioinformatics concepts and methods in taxonomic profiling studies of the human microbiome. This includes better understanding of the specific statistical challenges, practical hands-on experience with the commonly used methods, and reproducible research with R.

After the course you will know how to approach new tasks in microbiome data science by utilizing available documentation and R tools.

Target audience Advanced students and applied researchers who wish to develop their skills in microbial community analysis.

Venue Radboud University / Online, Nijmegen. July 5-16, 2021, with contributions by University of Turku, Finland.
