Visibiome’s schematic. A brief schematic of a typical Visibiome deployment showing implemented technology (depicted as different shapes and models) and data flow paths (depicted as arrows). Visibiome features a distributed architecture. Independent entities can be deployed as a dedicated service rather than coupled to the web server. Flexible entities can be customized to user preferences such as RDBMS. The schematic shows how data are transferred between the implemented technology. The orange paths depict user interaction to the web server. The green paths depict data flow when queries (computations) are performed. The grey path shows the set of original databases compiled into a single MySQL database which contains pre-computed sample distances and metadata
