The module creates a stacked bar plot showing, for each sample, the number of reads mapped to each of the screened organisms. Reads that align to more than one genome are grouped into a "Multiple Genomes" category, and unmapped reads into "No hits".

If any samples were run in bisulfite mode, an additional stacked bar plot breaks the reads down by methylation status.
