EcoPLOT: dynamic analysis of biogeochemical data

Bioinformatics. 2022 Feb 7;38(5):1480-1482. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btab842.

Abstract

Motivation: We have created EcoPLOT (parameterized linkage of omics-driven technologies), a web-app for the dynamic, interactive analysis of biogeochemical datasets that combines state-of-the-art analysis tools to statistically and graphically explore environmental, geochemical and microbiome datasets. Using the iterative random forest, a machine learning algorithm, EcoPLOT allows for the de novo discovery of drivers which exhibit significant impact on plant, microbial or soil dynamics.

Availability and implementation: EcoPLOT is built entirely within the R language. It can be accessed through any system where R is installed, including Windows, Mac and most Linux systems. EcoPLOT is free to use and can be accessed at https://github.com/cdsanchez18/EcoPLOT.
