GitHub - microbiome/miaSim: microbiome data simulation package (original) (raw)
Microbiome data simulation with miaSim 
miaSim
This R/Bioconductor package provides tools to simulate (longitudinal) time series data from popular models in microbial ecology. Thehomepage provides tutorials and references for the implemented models:
- Self-organised instability (SOI)
- Hubbell's neutral model
- generalized Lotka-Volterra (gLV)
- Ricker model (discrete gLV)
- Stochastic logistic model
- Consumer-resource model
These methods can be used for in silico studies of microbial community dynamics or multi-omic or host-microbiome interactions. The miaSim package supports the Bioconductor multi-assay data science framework for multi-omic data integration and time series analysis, and utilizes the(Tree)SummarizedExperiment data container.
miaSimShiny
The accompanyingmiaSimShiny package allows users to explore the parameter space of their models in real-time in an intuitive graphical interface.
You can experiment with miaSimShinyonline.
