In a nutshell
- Select a
rank (e.g. genus or OTU) and press "Draw Chart".
- To obtain high-quality figures, adjust the image resolution, width and height.
- Increasing curves indicate an under-sampling, i.e. that not all bacterial groups of
the underlying community are represented by the sequence data.
Reads are randomly selected from each sample and the number of present
taxa/OTUs counted. Mean species richness is the number of taxa/OTUs observed for a
given sample size.
