iSEEtree 1.1.4
1 Introduction
This page introduces users to the complete catalogue of panels provided by iSEEtree. Each panel is presented individually and visualised as it appears in the app. This catalogue is divided into four sections:
- compositional analysis: abundance plot, abundance density plot, prevalence plot and complex heatmap plot
- ordination analysis: RDA plot, Scree plot, loading plot and reduced dimension plot
- structural analysis: row/column tree plots and row/column graph plots
- other: row/column tile plots, mediation plot and row/column data plots
2 Compositional Analysis
| Panel name | Panel class | Information |
|---|---|---|
| Abundance plot | AbundancePlot | Feature abundance by sample |
| Abundance density plot | AbundanceDensityPlot | Feature distribution across samples |
| Prevalence plot | PrevalencePlot | Feature prevalence across samples |
| Feature assay plot | FeatureAssayPlot | Feature counts by column variable |
| Complex heatmap plot | ComplexHeatmapPlot | Counts by features and samples |
2.1 Abundance plot
The Abundance plot illustrates the feature composition of each sample with a barplot of the relative or absolute feature abundace. This panel is based on the miaViz function plotAbundance.
Supported operations:
- Selecting taxonomic rank of the composition
- Choosing either absolute or relative abundance
- Ordering samples by feature or sample metadata
- Customising aesthetics
2.2 Abundance density plot
The Abundance density plot provides an alternative way to visualise abundance. In this panel, each row represents the feature distribution across the samples. It is based on the miaViz function plotAbundanceDensity.
Supported operations:
- selecting layout (jitter, density or dot plot)
- specifying the number of top features to show
- customising aesthetics
2.3 Prevalence plot
The Prevalence plot provides an way to visualise feature prevalence across samples. In this panel, each line represents the feature abundance across the samples and prevalence is encoded by the colour. It is based on the miaViz function plotPrevalence.
Supported operations:
- adjusting prevalence and detection thresholds
- selecting the taxonomic rank to show
2.4 Feature assay plot
The Feature assay plot is inherited from iSEE. It is based on the scater function plotRowData and can be used to visualise the counts of a specific feature across samples grouped by a column variable.
See its image in the iSEE panel catalogue: FeatureAssayPlot
2.5 Complex heatmap plot
The Reduced dimension plot is inherited from iSEE. It is based on the ComplexHeatmap function Heatmap, which shows an entire assay as a heatmap where rows and columns represent features and samples, respectively. Hierarchical clustering as well as grouping by a variable can be performed across both dimensions.
See its image in the iSEE panel catalogue: ComplexHeatmapPlot
3 Ordination Analysis
| Panel name | Panel class | Information |
|---|---|---|
| RDA plot | RDAPlot | Supervised ordination |
| Scree plot | ScreePlot | Explained variance by component |
| Loading plot | LoadingPlot | Feature loadings by component |
| Reduced dimension plot | ReducedDimensionPlot | Any ordination result |
3.1 RDA plot
The RDA plot visualises results for a distance-based Redundance Analysis (dbRDA) performed on a TreeSE object with the mia function runRDA. It is based on the miaViz function plotRDA.
Supported operations:
- selecting reduced dimension
- adjusting statistical parameters
- customising aesthetics
3.2 Scree plot
The Scree plot shows the proportion of variance explained by each component of a dimensionality reduction analysis by means of a line plot or barplot. It is based on the miaViz function plotScree.
Supported operations:
- selecting reduced dimension
- changing number of components
- showing individual or cumulative variance
- adding components labels and names
3.3 Loading plot
The Loading plot visualises the contributions of each feature to the components of a reduced dimension of choice. It is based on the miaViz function plotLoadings.
Supported operations:
- selecting layout (barplot, heatmap or lollipop)
- changing number of components
- adding feature tree
3.4 Reduced dimension plot
The Reduced dimension plot is inherited from iSEE. It is based on the scater function plotReducedDim and can be used to visualise the results of an ordination analysis with both supervised and unsupervised methods as dot plot with reduced dimensions as coordinate axes.
See its image in the iSEE panel catalogue: ReducedDimensionPlot
4 Structural Analysis
| Panel name | Panel class | Information |
|---|---|---|
| Row tree plot | RowTreePlot | Hierarchical structure of features |
| Column tree plot | ColumnTreePlot | Hierarchical structure of samples |
| Row graph plot | RowGraphPlot | Network structure of features |
| Column graph plot | ColumnGraphPlot | Network structure of samples |
4.1 Row/Column tree plots
Row and column tree plots belong to the TreePlot family. They can be used to visualise the hierarchical organisation of the features or samples by means of a tree. They are based on the miaViz functions plotRowTree and plotColTree.
Supported operations:
- collapsing and expanding clades
- rotating and opening trees
- ordering trees
- labeling nodes and tips
- selecting tree layout
- customising aesthetics
4.2 Row/Column graph plots
Row and column graph plots belong to the GraphPlot family. They can be used to visualise the network organisation of the features or samples by means of a graph. They are based on the miaViz functions plotRowGraph and plotColGraph.
Supported operations:
- selecting graph and assay type
- labelling nodes
- selecting graph layout
- selecting edge type
- customising aesthetics
5 Other panels
| Panel name | Panel class | Information |
|---|---|---|
| Row tile plot | RowTilePlot | Variable distribution across feature groups |
| Column tile plot | ColumnTilePlot | Variable distribution across sample groups |
| Mediation plot | MediationPlot | Results of mediation analysis |
| Row data table | RowDataTable | Table of feature metadata |
| Column data table | ColumnDataTable | Table of sample metadata |
| Row data plot | RowDataPlot | Feature variable distribution |
| Column data plot | ColumnDataPlot | Sample variable distribution |
5.1 Row/Column tile plots

5.2 Mediation plot
Coming soon!
5.3 Row/Column data tables
The Row and column data tables are inherited from iSEE. They are rendered as a tidy table of feeature or sample variables, respectively. From those, it is possible to select a subset of the observations and transmit it to one or many other panels.
See their images in the iSEE panel catalogue: RowDataPlot and ColumnDataPlot
5.4 Row/Column data plots
The Row and column data plots are inherited from iSEE. They are based on the scater functions plotRowData and plotColData and can be used to visualise feature or sample metadata as scatter plots when the x variable is continuous or boxplots when the x variable is discrete.
See their images in the iSEE panel catalogue: RowDataTable and ColumnDataTable
