Fig. 1: Study sites, capture, and viral diversity.

A Map of wastewater catchment areas in Houston and El Paso, TX. The colored areas refer to the sites in each city (EP = 4, Houston = 6). B The treelike object was drawn with hierarchical taxonomical labels (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species) rather than multiple sequence alignments due to independent origins of different virus phyla. Tip point size corresponds to number of wastewater samples with the virus detected, and color corresponds to the skew of the species to Houston (red) or El Paso (blue). C Number of distinct virus strains detected per sample from each wastewater treatment plant. D Rarefaction curves measuring distinct virus strains detected as more samples were analyzed. Lines represent average strains detected while shaded bands represent minimum and maximum values from 50 permutations. E Genome coverage of detected virus genome/segments for each sample. F Percentage of reads aligned to virus pathogen genome database in paired control (no-probe) and treatment (capture with the TWIST Comprehensive Virus Research Panel) groups. n = 18 biologically independent samples. Boxplots are defined as: center line = median, lower and upper box-bounds = 25th and 75th data percentiles, and whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum values.
