Description: animalcules is an R package for utilizing up-to-date data
        analytics, visualization methods, and machine learning models
        to provide users an easy-to-use interactive microbiome analysis
        framework. It can be used as a standalone software package or
        users can explore their data with the accompanying interactive
        R Shiny application. Traditional microbiome analysis such as
        alpha/beta diversity and differential abundance analysis are
        enhanced, while new methods like biomarker identification are
        introduced by animalcules. Powerful interactive and dynamic
        figures generated by animalcules enable users to understand
        their data better and discover new insights.
