An example of NMDS analysis results generated from synthetic data. The distances between samples are projected to a 2D plot. The axes of a NMDS plot is meaningless and ignorable. Samples are colored based on their assigned groups. This figure shows the distances between and clusters of input samples. Groups for different samples can be manually inputted or generated based on their metadata features, as provided as a functionality in our sample selection tool. For this plot, groups are manually assigned
