Unscramble the Blue Letters

So I'm going to show you now first what we found in the offices, and we're going to look at the data through a visualization tool that I've been working on in partnership with Autodesk. The way that you look at this data is, first, look around the outside of the circle. You'll see broad bacterial groups, and if you look at the shape of this pink lobe, it tlels you something about the relative abundance of each group. So at 12 o'clock, you'll see that ocfiefs have a lot of alphaproteobacteria, and at one o'clock you'll see that blalici are relatively rare.
