Heatmap from Scientific Research

The heatmap summarises the 16S taxonomic profiles grouped by Dirichlet component (metacommunity/cluster) (cluster 1, n = 39; cluster 2, n = 39; cluster 3, n = 35). Rows represent OTUs, which are ordered from top to bottom based on their contribution to each metacommunity. For simplification, only the top 10 OTUs are represented. The intensity of the colour in the heatmap is proportional to the square-root of the relative abundance of each OTU. For each Dirichlet component, narrow columns represent BALF samples, and wide columns represent the component mean abundance of each OTU.
