To analyze and understand such changes, we present a Microbiome Toolbox. We implemented several methods for analysis and exploration to provide interactive visualizations for easy comprehension and reporting of longitudinal microbiome data.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Based on the abundance of microbiome features such as taxa as well as functional capacity modules, and with the corresponding metadata per sample, the Microbiome Toolbox includes methods for (i) data analysis and exploration, (ii) data preparation including dataset-specific preprocessing and transformation, (iii) best feature selection for log-ratio denominators, (iv) two-group analysis, (v) microbiome trajectory prediction with feature importance over time, (vi) spline and linear regression statistical analysis for testing universality across different groups and differentiation of two trajectories, (vii) longitudinal anomaly detection on the microbiome trajectory and (viii) simulated intervention to return anomaly back to a reference trajectory.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n The software tools are open source and implemented in Python. For developers interested in additional functionality of the Microbiome Toolbox, it is modular allowing for further extension with custom methods and analysis. The code, python package and the link to the interactive dashboard of Microbiome Toolbox are available on GitHub https:\/\/github.com\/JelenaBanjac\/microbiome-toolbox<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btac781","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,2]],"date-time":"2022-12-02T10:14:13Z","timestamp":1669976053000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Microbiome Toolbox: methodological approaches to derive and visualize microbiome trajectories"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7373-4150","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jelena","family":"Banjac","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Data Science, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) , Lausanne 1015, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4880-2750","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Norbert","family":"Sprenger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal Health, Nestl\u00e9 Institute of Health Sciences, Nestl\u00e9 Research, Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Produits Nestl\u00e9 S.A , Lausanne 1000, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2987-4313","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shaillay Kumar","family":"Dogra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal Health, Nestl\u00e9 Institute of Health Sciences, Nestl\u00e9 Research, Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Produits Nestl\u00e9 S.A , Lausanne 1000, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023010805373436300_btac781-B1","first-page":"177","volume-title":"The Human Microbiome in Early Life: Implications to Health and Disease","author":"Cher","year":"2020"},{"key":"2023010805373436300_btac781-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"559","DOI":"10.1038\/nature12820","article-title":"Diet rapidly and reproducibly alters the human gut microbiome","volume":"505","author":"David","year":"2014","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"2023010805373436300_btac781-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"572921","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2020.572921","article-title":"Gut microbiota resilience: definition, link to health and strategies for intervention","volume":"11","author":"Dogra","year":"2020","journal-title":"Front.
