The Human Microbiome Project (HMP) was initiated by NIH to probe the richness of the microbial communities living in and on the human body to help us understand their role in human health and disease.

JCVI supports the HMP metagenomic whole-genome shotgun analysis (WGS) with this dedicated HMP instance of JCVI Metagenomics Reports (METAREP) to make the large volumes of WGS data amenable for exploratory data analysis. Current status:

METAREP enables users to slice and dice data and compare multiple datasets at various functional and taxonomic levels applying statistical tests as well as hierarchical clustering, multidimensional scaling and heatmaps. Additional information:
