PCoA
Creates a principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) graph at the selected taxonomic level based on the distance matrix generated by the selected metric
Used For
Visualizing the similarity between different samples
Visualization Parameters
Taxonomic Level
The taxonomic level to aggregate the OTUs at. The OTUs will be grouped together (by summing the OTU values) at the selected taxonomic level before the analysis is applied.
Categorical Variable
Create comparative sample groups based on categorical variables uploaded in the metadata file.
Optionally create a categorical variable from a quantitative variable by using the Quantile Range feature on the Projects home page.
PCoA Type
Choose from one or multiple distance measures
Axis Range
Define the range of the 3D PCA plot. Points falling outside of this range will be removed from the graph.
Interactive Elements
Hover over each point to determine its sample ID and its principal component values
Rotate, zoom, and pan
Additional Features
Save Snapshot: Save the visualization to the experiment notebook
Download: Downloads the visualization as a PNG file
Share: Creates a shareable link that allows you to share the visualization with others
