Taxonomic analysis

Taxonomic analysis (Figure 7) contains interactive charts displaying the taxonomic assignments for the run. This data is based on the sequences of the small subunit (SSU) and large subunit (LSU) rRNAs, or internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences in the case of fungal amplicon data. Users can select between alternative representations of the data (pie-, bar-, stacked-, or interactive krona-chart), which can be downloaded in a range of formats.

Figure 7 Taxonomic analysis: the taxonomic analyses results are displayed as an interactive krona-chart by default, but can also be viewed as a pie-, stacked-, or bar-chart (highlighted) instead. The taxonomic assignments are either based on rRNA SSU/LSU sequence matches (as shown here), and/or on ITS sequence matches for fungal components.
