TaxonTableTools2 (TTT)
Overview
TaxonTableTools2 (TTT) is an easy-to-use graphical software designed for the analysis and visualization of DNA metabarcoding data. It enables biologists and researchers without bioinformatics experience to explore taxonomic datasets quickly, reproducibly, and interactively through a modern graphical user interface.
TTT focuses on:
- Intuitive biodiversity data exploration
- Reproducible analysis workflows
- Rapid visualization of metabarcoding results
- Accessibility for non-programmers
Version 2 – Streamlit-based GUI
TaxonTableTools2 represents a complete redesign of the original TaxonTableTools software.
Because Version 2 was rewritten from the ground up, early releases may still contain bugs or incomplete features. Stability and functionality will continue to improve throughout 2026.
Bug reports, feature requests, and suggestions are highly welcome.
