Table 2.
Database tables populated during a SymPortal analysis
| Table name | Table description |
|---|---|
| DataAnalysis | Equivalent to a single SymPortal analysis. Contains fields to store high‐level information about the analysis, such as DataSet objects included in the analysis, name, description and parameters used within the analysis |
| AnalysisType | Equivalent to an ITS2 type profile. Contains fields relating to ITS2 type profile features, for example the ReferenceSequence objects that characterize the AnalysisType (DIVs) listed in order of abundance, the ReferenceSequence objects that are found as the most abundant sequences in each of the samples in which the AnalysisType is found, a list of the CladeCollection objects in which the AnalysisType is found, or the maximum and minimum relative abundances of the DIVs that characterize the AnalysisType. Has a foreign key relationship to DataAnalysis |
| CladeCollectionType | An abstract table used to link the database tables associated with data analyses to the database tables associated with data set loading. Has foreign key relationships to CladeCollection and AnalysisTypea |

The clade system of taxonomic division within the former genus Symbiodinium has now been superseded by new family‐ and genera‐level descriptions (LaJeunesse et al., 2018). In the interest of maintaining reverse comparability to previous studies, SymPortal will continue to relate its outputs to the clade divisions. In time SymPortal will also be updated to include the new Symbiodiniaceae organization.
