Description: Microbiome Maps are visualizations of thousands of microbes using a Hilbert Curve. They are created with the Jasper software, which can be downloaded from the Apple Mac App Store.
Particularly challenging is their visualization, as existing techniques are inadequate when the taxa number in the thousands. Jasper is a tool for visualizing proļ¬les from metagenomic data, and orders taxa along a Hilbert curve. Each position in the image represents the abundance of a single taxon from a reference collection.
Properties of microbiomes embedded in community abundance profiles such as taxonomic hierarchies and other relationships are not easily described and visualized in traditional generic plotting mechanisms such as stacked bar-charts or line-plots.
Microbiome Maps are visualizations of microbial community profiles. Each pixel in an image represents the relative abundance of a single taxon from a reference collection. Microbiome Maps can be created with Jasper .
