iVikodak has been designed and developed with a vision to establish a benchmark for a structured and logical 'inference, exploration, analysis and visualization' of 16S derived functional potential of microbial communities. There are myriad of possibilites in 16S driven functional metagenomics space, and iVikodak makes a sincere effort to open-up all those avenues for the research community.
iVikodak provides the end users with myriad of highly interactive and downloadable high-quality visualizations of various functional inferences and associated analytics. Each module of iVikodak, creates an personalized dashboard, which not only provides an ensemble of explorable textual results but numerous (relevant) visualizations for fast and meaninful analysis as well.
JSD based PCoA
2D and 3D interactive ordination plots, visualizing the beta-diversity of functions across user-supplied meta data of environments
Heatmaps of Core functions
Interactive heatmaps visualizing the consistently prevalent functions across user-supplied meta data of environments
Box plots of Top Functions
Interactive box plots visualizing the Top functions at various hierarchies, across user-supplied meta data of environments
Functional correlations based microbial interactions
Highly interactive, explorable and downloadable network graphs of functional correlation based microbial interactions (we have termed them as Co-contribution networks)
Cladograms of differentiating functions
Differentiating functions (at all levels of hierarchy) derived using bootstrapped (BH corrected) wilcoxon & kruskal wallis tests are visualized using interactive and downloadable cladograms
Heatmaps of PEC Threshold based differentiating functions
Interactive and downloadable heatmaps representing 'a confident subset of differentiating functions' at various PEC Thresholds. Function observed to be differentiating at all PECs are most reliable markers
Heatmaps of Enzyme Profiles
Interactive and downloadable heatmaps visualizing the abundance profiles of enzymes across all environments (as supplied in user-provided metadata) for a function of interest are generated.
Dendrogram and Bar graphs clubbed in one
Interactive and downloadable 'Dendrobar' diagrams representing the taxonomic lineage and contribution of microbes towards a function of interest in all environments (as provided in metadata).
Colored and 3D Pathway Maps
Local Mapper module provides for all environments (as supplied in metadata), keggmap files which can be used to generate colored and 3D pathway maps for the KEGG pathway of interest
