Clustering, or denoising of high-throughput sequencing can get confusing because of the diversity of parameters, and methods! 😥 🤯 Compare quantifies differences between methods and is a visual exploration tool for your post-clustering or post-denoising data.
CHAOS conducts pairwise comparisons of alpha diversity or frequency tables, and comparisons of denoising statistics.
All visualizations can be tweaked by preferences for color palette, style and context.

Feature tables of frequency or alpha diversity indices artifacts can be compared through three visualizations and one table. The pairwise plot shows the correlation between each pair of samples between each method, and the density plot of each method is displaned in the diagonale. The raincloud plot shows both the density plot and a box plot for each method.
All plots can be colored by a categorical metadata column, the palette of colors can be changed, the style and context of the plot can also be specified optionally. Labels can also be provided to identify each input table.
Cool trick: it can also produce simpler visualizations such as box plots or violin plots if that's your preference. All plots can be colored by categorical metadata colummns, but this is optional.
