Network analysis of samples with respect to Blautia oligotypes. Edges connect samples to oligotypes and are colored based on the sample. A force-directed algorithm is used to analyze the occurrence of oligotypes in samples to reach equilibrium. Force-directed algorithms mimic basic physical properties such as repulsion and gravity, through which samples that share similar oligotypes are drawn together, while samples that have different oligotype profiles are pushed away from each other.
