Fig. 5: Complete and contiguous genomes of South African microbiota.

From: Short- and long-read metagenomics of urban and rural South African gut microbiomes reveal a transitional composition and undescribed taxa

Fig. 5

a Phylogenetic tree of de-replicated short-read MAGs and medium- and high-quality nanopore MAGs (green circles). Innermost ring indicates GTDB phylum, middle ring indicates study site associated with each MAG, and outer ring indicates the highest average nucleotide identity between each MAG and genomes from the UHGG. b A selection of MAGs assembled from long-read sequencing (green) of three South African samples compared contigs assembled from corresponding short-read data (gray). Third track (pink) indicates sliding genomic GC content, and fourth track (yellow) indicates sliding genomic GC skew. Breaks in circles represent different contigs. Genomic information within plots refer to assembly statistics of nanopore MAGs. c Number of additional genomic elements present in medium- and high-quality nanopore MAGs (n = 22) that are absent in corresponding short-read MAGs for the same organism, as diagrammed in the left-hand panel. Box plot lower and upper hinges correspond to the first and third quartiles, upper and lower box plot whiskers represent the highest and lowest values within 1.5 times the interquartile range, and the horizontal line represents the median. ANI average nucleotide identity, Mb megabase, Abx antibiotics, MAG metagenome-assembled genome.
