NOTE While we continue to maintain this R package, the development has been discontinued as we have shifted to supporting methods development based on the new TreeSummarizedExperiment data container, which provides added capabilities for multi-omics data analysis. Check the miaverse project for details.
The microbiomeutilities R package is part of the microbiome-verse tools that provides additional data handling and visualization support for the microbiome R/BioC package
Philosophy: "Seemingly simple tasks for experienced R users can always be further simplified for novice users"

MicrobiomeHD
The package provides access to a subset of studies included in the MicrobiomeHD database from Duvallet et al 2017: Meta-analysis of gut microbiome studies identifies disease-specific and shared responses. Nature communications. These datasets are converted to phyloseq objects and can be directly used in R environment.
