Use-case: Searching for Acinetobacter sequences and occurrence records in the ASV portal. A user interested in finding denoised sequences and associated occurrence records of a specific taxon, is presented with two search options in the start page of the ASV portal: BLAST and filter search (a). Filtering for ASVs derived from the 16S rRNA target gene in the genus Acinetobacter (b), produces a list of six ASVs, available for direct download (c). Alternatively, BLAST:ing against a known marker sequence from the targeted taxon (d), results in a corresponding list of ASVs (e). The user then opts for showing associated occurrence records in the main atlas platform (f), where data can be visualised and analysed together with other species observations as well as environmental and contextual data layers
