Temporal Insights into Microbial Ecology

TIME is a web application which enables microbiome researchers to visually explore, make logical inferences, and gather insights from time series microbiome datasets. TIME has been designed with a user friendly graphical interface. The intuitive and interactive mouse operations allow the end users to visually explore the datasets and discern the underlying biological interactions of the habitat. In addition, the generated plots as well as the tables can be easily downloaded for publication or further analysis.
