iMAP: Integrated Microbiome Analysis Pipeline
NOTE: The new iMAP repo is being rebuilt to make it more reproducible. For more details, please refer to the Related Work section below.
⚠️ WARNING: Some sections (Parts) of iMAP are currently incomplete. We are diligently working on data exploration, focusing particularly on various visualization and statistical analysis techniques. Our team is committed to assisting users in uncovering insights and trends within the microbiome datasets and developing data-driven hypotheses to facilitate well-informed decisions and actionable insights. Users are encouraged to visit the site more frequently for updates.

Running Analysis within Docker Container (Default)
- See this Docker README for step-by-step instructions.
- Requires Docker Images and Docker containers CLI.
- Uses fewer resources, but memory-intensive computing may sometimes fail.
- All analyses are run interactively on the container’s Command-line.
- The iMAP folder is, by default, the working directory and is readable from the container.
- The output is stored in the working directory, which means it can be accessed outside the container.
- Important: Graphical applications don’t work well in Docker containers.
- Some R-packages installed perfectly in RStudio may not install correctly in docker images.
Running Analysis On Specific Platforms
- See Original README for step-by-step instructions.
- This README is a work in progress. Please visit this page regularly for more updates.
- No Docker images are required.
- May probably require manual installation of some tools.
- Uses RStudio to install required R-packages.
