View interactive taxonomy charts for metagenomics analyses

You can use interactive taxonomy views to browse through metagenomics data.

Note: The Snapshot button does not operate on the visualization screen for the Metagenomics 16S analysis results in some browsers. You need to instead create a PDF of the visualization.

In the Analyses tab, click Overview.
In the Analyses screen, click the name of your metagenomics analysis. You can filter the list to display only metagenomics analyses.
In the results screen for the selected analysis, in the Visualization/Downloads section, click Visualize results by primer or Visualize consensus results to open an interactive taxonomy view.
Click Download results files for all samples to download all results files.

This table describes ways to use the interactive taxonomy views. For more information, see the documentation at this github site.
