Readers have expressed interest in some of my work being open sourced. The actual site would be described as an “evolved beta”, rather than subject people to quirks and kludges, I am proceeding as a redesign of a V.2 product. If you are interested, please FOLLOW (top left) to get updates as they happen.

The Repository is at:

https://github.com/Lassesen/Microbiome2

The first item that I want to get up for discussion is the core database tables – for review and comments. The Database diagram is shown below.

A few quick notes:

• Statistics were done as a separate table instead of the typical additional columns because trying multiple quantiles is seen as the way to go for non-parametric analysis. This becomes open ended with items like “Q2_18” – Quantile 2 of a 18 way quantization being possible. With that type of breakdown, we want to know if we are dealing with stale date, so we need to know the computation date.

Next post will deal with populating TaxonHierarchy and TaxonNames from ncbi downloads.

Thanks for joining me!

This is a companion site to the analysis site at: https://microbiomeprescription.com/

The intent of this site to assist people with health issues that are, or could be, microbiome connected. There are MANY conditions known to have the severity being a function of the microbiome dysfunction, including Autism, Alzheimer’s, Anxiety and Depression. See this list of studies from the US National Library of Medicine. Individual symptoms like brain fog, anxiety and depression have strong statistical association to the microbiome. A few of them are listed here.

The base rule of the site is to avoid speculation, keep to facts from published studies and to facts from statistical analysis(with the source data available for those wish to replicate the results). Internet hearsay is avoid like the plague it is.
