This package is a toolkit for working with Biological Observation Matrix (BIOM) files. Features include reading/writing all ‘BIOM’ formats, rarefaction, alpha diversity, beta diversity (including ‘UniFrac’), summarizing counts by taxonomic level, subsetting, visualizations, and statistical analysis. All CPU intensive operations are written in C.

Installation

The latest stable version can be installed from CRAN.

install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("rbiom")

The development version is available on GitHub.

pak::pak("cmmr/rbiom")

Usage

Import and rarefy abundance counts.

library(rbiom)

infile <- system.file(package = "rbiom", "extdata", "hmp50.bz2")
biom   <- rarefy(infile)

Explore associations with metadata.

bdiv_ord_plot(biom, stat.by = "Body Site", facet.by = "Sex")

adiv_boxplot(biom, x = "Sex", adiv = c("otu", "shan"), stat.by = "Body Site")

taxa_corrplot(biom, x = "Age", layers = "ptc", taxa = 2, stat.by = "bod")

Summarize counts by taxonomic rank.

taxa_heatmap(biom, taxa = 30, tracks = c("body", "age"))

taxa_stacked(biom, rank = "Phylum")

taxa_table(biom, 'Phylum')
