Distribution of assembled sequences after quality control. The bar plots a show the maximum values in each variable without much details. The jitter boxplots b clearly added more insights, showing the distribution, midpoint and outliers. The stacked density plots (c) and the stacked histograms (d) show the skewness of the sequence depth. Histograms separated the differences better than the other plots. Dotted lines indicate mean values of the density plots and histograms and marginal rugs are at the bottom. A slight shift of the mean line to the left is probably due to the removal of poorly aligned sequences at the denoising step. Legend key: Screened = sequences screened by length (default: min = 100, max = 300), Aligned = sequences aligned to a reference (default = SILVA alignments), Denoised = good alignments, only 1 mismatch per 100 nucleotides, NonChimeric = non chimeric sequences, BacteriaOnly = bacterial sequences only, NoMock = sequences after removing mock community
