NeighborFinder: Find Neighbor Species of a Bacteria of Interest in the Human Gut Microbiota

Implementation of the local approach described in Sola et al., 2026 <doi:10.64898/2025.12.05.692507> to identify companion species of a bacteria of interest. From several abundance tables of metagenomic data, 'NeighborFinder' suggests a shortlist of companion species based on the integration of results. A visualization via a network is proposed.
