microViz: an R package for microbiome data visualization and statistics

microViz is an R package for the statistical analysis and visualization of microbiota data. This package extends the functionality of popular microbial ecosystem data analysis R packages, including phyloseq (McMurdie & Holmes, 2013), vegan (Oksanen et al., 2020) and microbiome (Lahti & Shetty, 2012-2019). microViz provides a selection of powerful additions to the toolbox of researchers already familiar with phyloseq and microbiome, as well as assisting researchers with less R programming experience to independently explore and analyse their data and to generate publication-ready figures.
