Screenshots of interactive graphical support for contamination removal with MicrobIEM. The interactive graphical user interface of MicrobIEM supports the user by displaying which features are removed (in orange, A) or kept (in blue, B) with the current filter threshold indicated as a vertical black line. In this example, filtering is based on the pipeline negative control NEG2. Each datapoint represents one feature (ASV or OTU) present in the selected control type (NEG2), and bubble area indicates the mean relative abundance per feature in the samples. Interactive hover texts (orange box in A, blue box in B) provide further information per feature, such as ID, taxonomy and mean relative abundance over samples
