AMPLICLOUD – Interactive Microbiome Data Analytics, Visualization & Reporting Platform
- AMPLICLOUD by Nova Lifetech is a powerful, cloud-hosted platform that enables researchers to independently analyze, visualize, and report on microbial community data derived from ASV or OTU tables — all without writing a single line of code. Built for scientifically flexibility, AMPLICLOUD gives users full control over sample and taxon selection, statistical workflows, and reporting — anytime, anywhere.
Key Features
🔹 Flexible Data Upload & Preprocessing
• Upload custom-formatted ASV/OTU tables and taxonomy files
• Reorder samples or ASVs prior to upload for tailored grouping and visualization
• Reorder samples or taxa directly within the platform
• Apply rarefaction as the standard normalization option
⸻
🔹 Taxonomy & Composition Analysis
• Visualize microbiome composition at any taxonomic rank (Phylum to Species)
• Filter low-abundance features, rank top taxa, and detect outliers
• Identify core microbiome based on customizable prevalence and abundance thresholds
⸻
🔹 Ordination & Beta Diversity
• Perform PCA, PCoA, NMDS, and MDS analyses
• Enable 3D ordination plots for spatial interpretation
• Display and select loading factors to understand key contributors to variance
• Upload a phylogenetic tree to enable Unifrac distance calculations (weighted/unweighted) and phylogeny-informed ordination
⸻
🔹 Interactive Visualizations
• Generate publication-ready plots:
• Bar, area, radar, and ternary plots
• Heatmaps, taxonomy tables, metacoder trees
• Correlation networks and Sankey diagrams
• Phylogenetic trees (if uploaded)
⸻
🔹 Statistical Testing & Differential Abundance
• Compare groups using multiple statistical tests (e.g., t-test, Wilcoxon, LEfSe-style methods)
• Visualize significant features across comparisons
• Adjust for grouping, metadata, or sample filtering on the fly
⸻
