I built an interactive dashboard to explore the Belly Button Biodiversity dataset, which catalogs the microbes that colonize human navels.
Deployed : https://mcglash.github.io/Belly-Button-Biodiversity-Dashboard/
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.
-
Used the D3 library to read in
samples.json. -
Created a horizontal bar chart with a dropdown menu to display the top 10 OTUs found in that individual.
- Created a bubble chart that displays each sample.
-
Displayed the sample metadata, i.e., an individual's demographic information.
-
Displayed each key-value pair from the metadata JSON object somewhere on the page.
-
Updated all of the plots any time that a new sample is selected.
-
Adapted the Gauge Chart from https://plot.ly/javascript/gauge-charts/ to plot the weekly washing frequency of the individual.
