- Abstract
Rapid improvements in microbiome research have been driven by advances in high-throughput sequencing (HTS), and enormous microbiome databases are now being developed. However, the variety of software tools and the intricacy of analytic pipelines make entry into this field challenging. Here, we provide a thorough overview of the benefits and limits of microbiome data analytic approaches. Then, we offer various pipelines for amplicon and metagenomic analysis, as well as discuss widely used software and databases, to assist researchers in selecting the most suitable tools. To further assist researchers in making wise choices, we illustrate statistical and visualisation techniques suitable for microbiome analysis, such as correlation, taxonomic structure, network, source tracing, differential comparative, pattern recognition, alpha, beta diversity and popular visualisation styles. We expect that this study will enable researchers to conduct data analysis more efficiently and to choose the proper tools quickly in order to efficiently extract the biological meaning hidden within the data.
