In this assignment, you will build an interactive dashboard to explore the Belly Button Biodiversity dataset, which catalogs the microbes that colonize human navels.
The dataset reveals that a small handful of microbial species (also called operational taxonomic units, or OTUs, in the study) were present in more than 70% of people, while the rest were relatively rare.
-
Use the D3 library to read in samples.json
-
Create a horizontal bar chart with a dropdown menu to display the top 10 OTUs found in that individual.
- Use sample_values as the values for the bar chart.
- Use otu_ids as the labels for the bar chart.
- Use otu_labels as the hovertext for the chart.
- Create a bubble chart that displays each sample.
- Use otu_ids for the x values.
- Use sample_values for the y values.
- Use sample_values for the marker size.
- Use otu_ids for the marker colors.
- Use otu_labels for the text values.
-
Display the sample metadata, i.e., an individual's demographic information.
-
Display each key-value pair from the metadata JSON object somewhere on the page.
-
Update all of the plots any time that a new sample is selected.
- Deploy your app to a free static page hosting service, such as GitHub Pages. Submit the links to your deployment and your GitHub repo.
