VMAP: Vaginal Microbiome Atlas during Pregnancy

Résumé fourni par la source

Objectives: To enable interactive visualization of the vaginal microbiome across the pregnancy and facilitate discovery of novel insights and generation of new hypotheses. Material and Methods: Vaginal Microbiome Atlas during Pregnancy (VMAP) was created with R shiny to generate visualizations of structured vaginal microbiome data from multiple studies. Results: VMAP (http://vmapapp.org) visualizes 3880 vaginal microbiome samples of 1402 pregnant individuals from 11 studies, aggregated via open-source tool MaLiAmPi. Visualized features include diversity measures, VALENCIA community state types, and composition (phylotypes, taxonomy) that can be filtered by various categories. Discussion: This work represents one of the largest and most geographically diverse aggregations of the vaginal microbiome in pregnancy to date and serves as a user-friendly resource to further analyze vaginal microbiome data and better understand pregnancies and associated outcomes. Conclusion: VMAP can be obtained from https://github.com/msirota/vmap.git and is currently deployed as an online app for non-R users.
