Hi,
I have recently made a q2-pathway
plugin, which is capable of:
- Inference of functional profiles (gene family abundance) from 16S rRNA gene sequencing data
- Comparison and summarization of multiple functional profiles including those from
q2-sapienns
andq2-picrust2
- Gene set enrichment analysis based on user-specified ranking of gene family abundances
- Visualization of biological pathway information
The GitHub repository for the package is:
The package is currently being developed, and I'm seeking feedback from this active community.
There should be much room for improvement, and I would be grateful if you could try the plugin and provide bug reports or feature suggestions.
Also, I would like to ask the following specific question regarding the development.
Currently, to use Tax4Fun2 inference, the users must provide the path to the reference database bundled with the Tax4Fun2 library. However, the plugin development guide indicated this behavior should be avoided. I am thinking of installing the database and library by making the visualizers of the name install
, which downloads and installs the databases in the predefined location. I would be grateful if you could let me know the better way for handling this situation.
