1 Composition Barplots

Composition barplots illustrate the microbial composition at different taxonomy levels from phylum to strain. The interactive figure below shows the microbial composition at the strain level. Additional composition barplots and abundance tables can be accessed by clicking on the link below the figure.

2 Alpha Diversity

Alpha diversity is a measurement of the microbial diversity of each sample. The plot below shows the number of observed strains in the samples. For analyses without group comparison, a histogram of observed species in each sample is shown. For analyses with group comparison, a box-and-whisker plot of observed species in each group is shown. Alpha diversity graphs generated by other matrices can be found by clicking the last link

More Information

Normally, with deeper sequencing depth, the alpha diversity increases as more taxa at lower abundance are identified. Alpha diversity rarefraction graphs generated by other matrices can be found by clicking the link given below the figure.
