Abstract
Summary A key aspect of microbiome research is analysis of longitudinal dynamics using time series data. A method to visualize both the proportional and absolute change in the abundance of multiple taxa across multiple subjects over time is needed. We developed BiomeHorizon, an open-source R package that visualizes longitudinal compositional microbiome data using horizon plots.
Availability and Implementation BiomeHorizon is available at https://github.com/blekhmanlab/biomehorizon/ and released under the MIT license. A guide with step-by-step instructions for using the package is provided at https://blekhmanlab.github.io/biomehorizon/. The guide also provides code to reproduce all plots in this manuscript.
