ViMO visualizations. A ViMO produces bar plots to visualize the gene counts and abundances of KEGG-pathways in the different bins, here filtered to pathways in energy metabolism. For metagenomics, all timepoints are used, while for metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics, only the first timepoint is shown here and the user can select which sample/timepoint to visualize. In addition, ViMO displays heatmaps with all timepoints within one graph for metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics to visualize temporal changes (data not shown). B ViMO calculates the module completion fraction (mcf) for all KEGG modules (x-axis; only a subset displayed here) and MAGs (y-axis) and thus visualize the metabolic potential of each MAG. The set of visible modules can be filtered to selected KEGG pathways for in-depth exploration
