Comprehensive Meta-analysis of Ontology Annotated 16S rRNA Profiles Identifies Beta Diversity Clusters of Environmental Bacterial Communities
Fig 4
Comprehensive clustering of 10,313 samples with at least 2000 sequences.
Clusters enriched in EnvO-terms are identified and color-coded automatically if F1-score > 0.5. Note that in the dendrogram, the entire clade is colored by the color of the enriched EnvO-term. The human/animal associated and soil clusters are supported by many independent studies, whereas freshwater and geothermal clusters are largely driven by findings of a single study. Study color, ecosystem colors and EnvO associations are visualized in the colorbars below the dendrogram. EnvO-annotation colors are shades of the associated ecosystem color (see legend).
