Check the [miaverse project](https://microbiome.github.io/) for details. Tools for the exploration and analysis of microbiome profiling data sets. This R package extends the phyloseq data container. The package is actively maintened but we have discontinued the development and shifted to support methods development based on the (Tree)SummarizedExperiment data containers, see [microbiome.github.io](https://microbiome.github.io/) for more details. ### Installation and use See the package [tutorial](http://microbiome.github.io/tutorials/). **Kindly cite** as follows: "Leo Lahti, Sudarshan Shetty [et al.](https://github.com/microbiome/microbiome/graphs/contributors) ([Bioconductor, 2017](https://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/microbiome.html)).
