I built an interactive dashboard to explore the Belly Button Biodiversity dataset, which catalogs the microbes that colonize human navels.
The dataset reveals that a small handful of microbial species (also called operational taxonomic units, or OTUs, in the study) were present in more than 70% of people, while the rest were relatively rare.
- Javascript
- HTML
- D3
- JSON
- Read in the JSON dataset using D3.
- Create a horizontal bar chart with a dropdown menu to display the top 10 OTUs found in that individual.
- Create a bubble chart that displays each sample.
- Display the individual's demographic information.
- Display each key-value pair from the metadata JSON object on the page.
- Adapt a gauge chart to pot the weekly washing frequency of the individual.
- Update all of the plots any time that a new sample is selected.
- Deploy app to a static page.
