Calour: an Interactive, Microbe-Centric Analysis Tool.
Zhenjiang Zech Xu,Zhenjiang Zech Xu,Amnon Amir,Amnon Amir,Jon G. Sanders,Qiyun Zhu,James T. Morton,Molly C. Bletz,Anupriya Tripathi,Shi Huang,Daniel McDonald,Lingjing Jiang,Rob Knight +12 more
TL;DR: Calour provides a study-centric data model to store and manipulate sample-by-feature tables (with features typically being operational taxonomic units) and their associated metadata, and generates an interactive heatmap, allowing visualization of microbial patterns and exploration using microbial knowledge databases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trace Evidence Potential in Postmortem Skin Microbiomes: From Death Scene to Morgue
Whitney A. Kodama,Zhenjiang Xu,Zhenjiang Xu,Jessica L. Metcalf,Se Jin Song,Nicholas Harrison,Rob Knight,David O. Carter,Christopher B. Happy +8 more
TL;DR: Results show that microbes from objects at death scenes can be matched to individual decedents, opening up a new method of establishing associations and identifications.
Journal ArticleDOI
