What is a stacked bar graph?

A stacked bar graph allows you to view all of the organisms identified in your sample, shown one taxonomic level at a time.

​
Why use it?

A stacked bar graph is useful for visualizing the relative amounts of each organism in your sample

​
How to use it

Relative Abundance - Click on “relative abundance” to use relative abundance for the stacked bar visualization. Abundance Score - Click on “abundance score” to use abundance score for the stacked bar visualization. % Others - Enter a number in front of %others to group more or fewer organisms into the “others” category. This is useful if you have many lower abundance organisms and you would like to get a better view of the higher level calls. Use the taxonomic switcher in the top menu bar to switch between levels.
