OVERVIEW

In this final assignment - the grand finale for BCB 520 - I am polishing up one of the figures in my thesis/manuscript… stacked bar charts!

THE ORIGINAL VERSION

HMTop20IFTop20

What do you think?

Barrie pointed out that it would be helpful to display the random missing samples from my dataset. So, I added in the missing samples (originally not there) and went through the process again.

THE POLISHED VERSION

HMTop20w0sIFTop20w0s

Do you see the difference?

Barrie was right! This is easier to follow. And shocker, my advisor likes it much better too.

IN CONCLUSION

Sometimes what seems “unimportant” actually is important. Grateful for this class and all it continues to teach me, data-viz-wise and otherwise.

MORE FIGURUES

Just for fun! Here’s a few examples for how I simplified the data.
