Rhea[1] is a bioinformatic pipeline written in R language for the analysis of microbial profiles. It was released during the end of 2016 and it is publicly available through a GitHub repository.[2]
Starting with an Operational taxonomic unit (OTU) table, the pipeline contains scripts that perform the following common analytical steps:
- Normalization of the OTU table
- Calculation of the alpha diversity for each sample
- Calculation of beta diversity and visualization of the results with PCoA
- Taxonomic binning
- Statistical testing
- Correlation analysis
The name Rhea was primarily given to the pipeline as a phonetic and visual link to the R language used throughout development. Moreover, as stated in the original publication,[1] the name was chosen to reflect the flowing and evolving nature of the scripts, as "flow" is one of the suggested etymology of the name of the mythological goddess Rhea.
