Abstract

As next-generation sequencing technology has become more advanced, research on microbial 16S ribosomal DNA sequences has developed rapidly. Sequencing of 16S ribosomal DNA allows the composition of bacteria and archaea in a sample to be obtained and many analytical tools related to 16S ribosomal DNA sequences have been proposed; however, most do not include a user-friendly platform with a graphical user interface. Here, a comprehensive and easy-to-use online platform, Easy Microbiome Analysis Platform (EasyMAP), has been developed for analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing data. EasyMAP integrates the QIIME2, LefSe, and PICRUSt pipelines and includes temporal profiling analysis. Users can perform quality checks, taxonomy differential abundance analysis, microbial gene function prediction and longitudinal analysis with step-by-step guidance. EasyMAP is a user-friendly tool for comprehensive analysis of 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing data. The web server and documentation are freely available at http://easymap.cgm.ntu.edu.tw/.
