meta‐mined Dashboard - prekijpatel/MetaMiner GitHub Wiki

meta-mined is the visualization module linked to the MetaMiner application. While MetaMiner takes care of collecting, cleaning, and standardizing genomic metadata, meta-mined is automatically launched once the analysis is complete. It brings all the processed data into a single, easy-to-navigate dashboard for visualization 📈.

Often, metadata is shared in spreadsheets or plain text formats 📄. To explore it meaningfully, we usually end up switching between filters, columns, or tools just to locate a subset or find trends 🔍🌀. This back-and-forth can be time-consuming and inefficient. With meta-mined, we wanted to simplify this process. meta-mined puts everything into various graphs and offers a complete view of the dataset at a glance 🤓. This makes taking decisions much easier and smoothens the process of filtering subsets.

Dashboard helps in visualizing: 👇

• 🌍 Geographical distribution of the isolates

• 🧬 Sequencing technology used

• 🧮 Assembly characteristics such as N50, L50, ANI values, assembly level (e.g., complete, contig), and coverage depth

• 🧾 Annotation summaries including gene counts, CDS, and related features, Annotation source/provider

• 📆 Submission trends over time

The dashboard is built using the open-source Plotly Dash library and runs entirely locally. There’s no need for commercial licenses or internet connectivity (if you already have metadata locally available)—it simply works with the output from MetaMiner.

meta-mined is designed to make the exploration of metadata more efficient and intuitive. Instead of working through rows of text, you can now understand your data visually and download exactly what you need ✅. This has been a helpful step in our own workflows, and we hope it makes things smoother for you too 🤝😄.
