abstract: Reads, plots, and manipulates large taxonomic data sets, like those generated
  from modern high-throughput sequencing, such as metabarcoding (i.e. amplification
  metagenomics, 16S metagenomics, etc). It provides a tree-based visualization called
  "heat trees" used to depict statistics for every taxon in a taxonomy using color
  and size. It also provides various functions to do common tasks in microbiome bioinformatics
  on data in the 'taxmap' format defined by the 'taxa' package. The 'metacoder' package
  is described in the publication by Foster et al. (2017) <https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005404>.
