MicrobiotaProcess: A comprehensive R package for managing and analyzing microbiome and other ecological data within the tidy framework

• MicrobiotaProcess defines an MPSE structure to better integrate both primary and intermediate microbiome datasets.
• MicrobiotaProcess improves the integration and exploration of downstream data analysis.
• MicrobiotaProcess provides a set of functions under a unified tidy framework, which helps users explore related datasets more efficiently.
• MicrobiotaProcess offers many visual methods to quickly render clear and comprehensive visualizations that reveal meaningful insights.
