title: 'LegATo: LegATo: Longitudinal mEtaGenomic Analysis Toolkit'
version: 1.7.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.LegATo
abstract: LegATo is a suite of open-source software tools for longitudinal microbiome
  analysis. It is extendable to several different study forms with optimal ease-of-use
  for researchers. Microbiome time-series data presents distinct challenges including
  complex covariate dependencies and variety of longitudinal study designs. This toolkit
  will allow researchers to determine which microbial taxa are affected over time
  by perturbations such as onset of disease or lifestyle choices, and to predict the
  effects of these perturbations over time, including changes in composition or stability
  of commensal bacteria.
