Recentrifuge: Robust comparative analysis and contamination removal for metagenomics
Fig 5
Layout of the Recentrifuge interface.
This figure is an explained screenshot of the Recentrifuge web interface for an SMS study (see S1 Fig for details of the example). It highlights the principal parts of the interface, which are also labeled. The sample 2A5 was selected (see the sample selection box in the top left under the Recentrifuge logo), so the key statistics for this sample appeared in the bottom left of the view. In the center, there was the corresponding hierarchical pie chart, with zoom in the phylum Euryarchaeota. For each taxon, the background color reflected the average confidence level of the taxonomic classification following the scale plotted in the bottom left of the figure, where there were also buttons for the score navigator. Since the interface had the option disabled, Recentrifuge did not sort the taxa according to the average confidence level. In this particular case, the taxon Methanosarcina soligelidi was selected in the pie chart, thus prompting the display of taxon-related statistics and links in the top right of the figure. The current links were to Google Scholar and NCBI Taxonomic Browser. The statistics included: the number of reads assigned to this or lower taxonomic levels (Count) and their average confidence (Score —avg—), the number of reads just assigned to this level (Unassigned), the NCBI taxid (TaxID) and rank (Rank), and some information about relative frequencies.
