Introduction

The Taxonomy tree contains taxonomy profiling of two groups of samples with the phylogenetic taxonomy tree from kingdom to species. The background color of tree branches represents different taxonomy. The highlight branches color in red and blue represents the taxonomies significantly different between provided two groups. The outer names are species names, and the significant different species have rectangles around their names. The nodes of the tree reveal the average abundance of the corresponding taxonomy among all samples.

Input Files

Click on the Download Data button to check the demo input files.

1. Profiling table (TSV file)

  • header
    samples ID
  • row names
    Taxonomy names in mpa format. Should have a complete record from kingdom to species. (MetaPhlAn3 default output is acceptable)

2. Differential testing result (TSV file)

  • header
ID mean(case) sd(case) mean-rank(case) occ-rate(case) mean(control) sd(control) mean-rank(control) occ-rate(control) enriched pvalue qvalue
k__Bacteria 97.10 10.41 60 1.00 99.39 2.98 70 1.00 control 0.14 0.49
  • rows
    Every taxonomy mentioned in profiling tables should have a row with the name of a minimal taxonomy level. (e.g. k__Bacteria|p__Verrucomicrobiota|c__Verrucomicrobiae|o__Verrucomicrobiales|f__Akkermansiaceae|g__Akkermansia should had a row g__Akkermansia in this file) The analysis module differential testing could output the required format.

3. Group information (TSV file)

  • header
ID Group
sample1 case
  • rows
    sample ID and the group information for the corresponding sample.
