command or tool to shorten the very long labels in viewer from taxa-bar-plots.qzv

When I make plots from taxa-bar-plots.qzv at level-7 the labels are huge and unreadable because of the first 6 levels.

eg: “D_0__Bacteria;D_1__Firmicutes;D_2__Bacilli;D_3__Bacillales;D_4__Bacillaceae;D_5__Aquibacillus;D_6__Aquibacillus salifodinae”

I found that the data used to plot is stored in level-7.csv and level-7.jsonp.

Before I start to make my own code

  • Is there a tool that can process this file and remove level-1:6 labels to keep only the species label?

leaving only “Aquibacillus salifodinae” in my example above

  • Does replacing the long strings in level-7.csv / level-7.jsonp by a shorter one keep the resulting qzv file valid for the online viewer?

  • is there a local CLI version (or better a R package) of the viewer of is the webpage the only tool for producing and customising plots?

Thanks in advance

Thanks

Hi @splaisan,

No. I would recommend doing this in python or R.

As long as you (a) do not alter the feature IDs and (b) the altered taxonomy is all at even levels this should still work just fine. But I would recommend altering the taxonomy you are using on input to qiime taxa barplot, not the files in the QZV.

q2view is actually run locally even though it is browser-based (try disconnecting from the internet and run qiime tools view to see for yourself!). Is that your concern, that you want to have view access when offline?

I hope that helps!

that helped a lot, thanks !
especially the part < But I would recommend altering the taxonomy you are using on input to qiime taxa barplot , not the files in the QZV. > which I will try next.
It is a bit weird that everybody else can live with such long and ugly labels on such a nice plot though :slight_smile: I guess they all make their own pots in R ggplot2 from the csv output which is probably where I will go too to speedup and not have to dig in the qz zip structure

you do not need to dig around in the zip structure, since this is just a matter of adjusting your taxonomy file:

  1. use qiime tools export to export from QZA to tab-delimited text
  2. modify however you like, e.g., an R or bash script will do
  3. re-import the modified taxonomy to QIIME 2 with qiime tools import
  4. use the modified taxonomy as your input to barplot

Cool! I try this tomorrow and will post any success back here for others

Hi Nicholas,

I am almost there but have a structure error in my data which I do not get. :face_with_thermometer:

Next is a part of my attempt which can be seen in whole on my git page

Could you please point me to a way to correct this !

In the scase of species, I left the leading ‘D_6__’ but the error below remains when also removing this prefix

I ran the command below both with the original table.qza, the table-no-unassigned.qza OR the new <genus|species>-table-no-unassigned.qza without change in the error.

It seems that the simplified taxonomy_species.qza data is not structurally correct anymore to generate the plot

qiime taxa barplot --i-table table-no-unassigned.qza --i-taxonomy taxonomy_species.qza --m-metadata-file $SAMPLE_METADATA --o-visualization species-taxa-bar-plots.qzv

I found it, there is need for at least one ';' in the taxon column, I kept both genus and species and now it works.

After:
