Data quality
Assessment of raw data quality.
Number of reads
Read quantity distribution
Number of the reads per sample before and after the quality filtering. Quality filtering (using split_libraries_fastq.py QIIME1.9 script (Caporaso et al. 2010)) included: trimming of low-quality read ends (quality threshold = 20) and discarding of trimmed reads shorter than 75% of the initial length. Vertical line denotes minimal number of reads (5000 reads).
Samples with low coverage
List of samples that had insufficient number of high-quality reads after the quality filtering (< 5000 reads) and were excluded from further analysis.
All samples passed the filter.
Read classification statistics
Reads were classified using a closed-reference OTU picking (uclust_ref algorithm) implemented in QIIME1.9 (Caporaso et al. 2010) against a 16S rRNA sequence database (Greengenes v. 13.5 (DeSantis et al. 2006), 97% OTU similarity).
Proportion of classified reads
Samples with insufficient proportion of classified reads
Warning: there are samples with low proportion of classified reads (<70%). It is recommended to repeat the analysis by creating an additional project without including these samples.
All samples passed the filter.
Taxonomic composition
Heatmap of taxonomic composition
The interactive heatmap represents relative abundance of major microbial taxa (columns) in the samples (rows). Using the drop-down list “Heatmap settings” on the right of the heatmap, users can select taxonomic rank of interest. For convenience of comparison between close values, clicking on a cell “freezes” the displayed value of cell on the Legend and additionally the displayed abundance of top 10 taxa of corresponding sample (click again or on the cross near sample name to “unfreeze”). Use the Top control to change the way of major composition display between the top features in the selected sample and the top features across all samples on the average.
Major taxa
The boxplots represent distribution of relative abundance for 25 most abundant taxa across all samples (for each taxonomic rank). For proper display on log scale, zero values were replaced with a pseudocount not higher than minimum value of relative abundance of major taxa.

The table contains relative abundance of all microbial taxa for each taxonomic rank.
Raw counts
Taxonomic core
The plot represents the proportion of OTUs shared across the varying proportion of samples.
Analysis of outliers
Automatic filtering of the user samples with extreme taxonomic composition (based on the combined analysis of user and external data). Analysis of outliers: samples in upper 1% tail of distribution of median distance between each sample and closest 50% of neighbours approximated by normal distribution. List of outliers:
IonXpress.019.run0, IonXpress.006.run1
PCoA visualization based on taxonomic composition
Distribution of the samples by their taxonomic composition in reduced dimensionality. The closer the samples (points) on the plot, the more similar their composition. Vectors show the directions in which the levels of the respective major taxa increase. Method of dimension reduction: PCoA (Principal Coordinate Analysis); dissimilarity metric: weighted UniFrac. Clicking on a dot “freezes” the detailed information about the sample on the right of the plot (click again or on the cross near sample name to “unfreeze”). Switch between the display modes with or without outliers and with or without vectors showing major microbial “drivers” using the respective controls.
Enterotypes
Enterotyping (cluster analysis of samples by their composition) was performed using the Dirichlet multinomial mixtures (DMM) method for the probabilistic modelling of microbial metagenomics data (Holmes et al., 2012). The optimal number of clusters was determined according to the lowest Laplace estimation on the DMM model evidence. Silhouette width is a measure of the clustering quality and was determined using Bray-Curtis distance. For each of the enterotypes, there is a list of its drivers – microbial taxa distinguishing the samples belonging to the cluster from the other samples. A table of samples and their enetrotypes is provided.

In addition, the mean and confidence interval value appear when the mouse is over the boxplot. Controls at the top and bottom-right allow to change the displayed data.
Taxa co-occurence analysis
Co-occurence graph
Co-occurrence of microbial genera was analyzed basing on correlation analysis of their relative abundance using SPIEC-EASI software. In the graph, vertices show genera; pairs of highly co-occurring genera are connected with blue lines. The graph shows the members of the cooperatives - groups of highly co-occurring genera corresponding to isolated components (singleton vertices are omitted). Parameters of SPIEC-EASI algorithm: Meinshausen and Bühlmann neighbourhood selection method (MB), minimum lambda ratio= 0.1, number of lambda iterations = 20, model selection using StARS algorithm (number of StARS subsamples = 50).

Heatmap of functional composition
The interactive heatmap represents relative abundance of major pathways (columns) in the samples (rows). To switch between KEGG or MetaCyc nomenclatures, use the drop-down list in “Heatmap settings”.

Use the Top control to change the way of major composition display between the top features in the selected sample and the top features across all samples on the average.
