  • How to visualize microbiome datasets ?

    Hi,

    I have 16S rRNA datasets produced by Mothur and I want to plot my data and get publictaion quality figures (stacked bars, heatmaps, etc). I dont have familiarity with command line based packages such R, SAS, etc. I tried explicet, but it was not helpful for my data. Does anyone have suggestions for me about any user friendly tool, that I can use for my data?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Richa,

    have you tried STAMP (http://kiwi.cs.dal.ca/Software/STAMP)? You could also use some of the QIIME scripts (http://qiime.org/tutorials/tutorial.html).

    cheers!

      Hi overflow,

      Thanks for your suggestion. I dint hear about STAMP before. Are you sure if I can use it for mothur generated data? Because I did not see any explanation of mothur data file format in the STAMP guide book.

        there is a conversion tool for mothur data integrated (whatever that means because I'm not familiar with mothur).
        However, at the end STAMP uses tables as input, so you should be able to import your data after some modifications.

          Hi overflow,

          Thanks for help. I work with windows. I installed STAMP, and I was also able to make SPF file (from mothur files) using it, but when I try to load them, I cant see anything on STAMP window. Do you already use STAMP? Does it needs JAVA too ? What could be the problem ?

            just had the same problem, did you also include a metadata file?

              No I did not include a metadeta file.

                You could give that a try:

                  for PCA etc. you need to supply a metadata file, otherwise you will only be able to compare 2 samples

                    I understand, for PCA, I must provide a metadta file. But I wanted to start with plotting simple bar graphs. where is the problem. Can you tell me ?

                      ggplot2 heatmaps are IMO quite suitable for big data representation..

                        supply metadata file and it will work, no idea why you have to do that...

                          Hi,
                          Which metadata file do you load in STAMP to make it work with mothur files ?
                          Thanks,
                          Julien

                            You could also make a biom file in mothur then use qiime scripts for visualization. I would recommend you try Nephele <https://nephele.niaid.nih.gov> which has easy to use pipelines based on mothur or qiime and produces graphical outputs.

                              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                              by seqadmin


                              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
