Built an interactive dashboard to explore the Belly Button Biodiversity dataset which catalogs the microbes that colonize human navel.
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.
Using Javascript, Plotly and D3js library to read a .json file to generate the followings using a dropdown menu contaning the test subject IDs:
- Demographic Information section.
- Bar Plot of the top 10 OTUs found in selected individuals.
- Bubble Chart that displays each sample.
- Gauge Chart representing weekly washing frequency.
All sections and charts mentioned above update everytime a new subject ID is selected.
