Fig. 3: Gut phageome and its quantitative relationship with gut bacteriome.
From: Host specificity and cophylogeny in the “animal-gut bacteria-phage” tripartite system
a PCoA plot based on the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity of phageome between samples. b Compositional evenness of phageome and bacteriome as measured by Shannon index for each sample. c Pearson correlation of Shannon index between phageome and bacteriome. d The vConTACT-based network diagram, in which each node represents a (pro)phage sequence from either VLP metagenome or bacterial genomes. Contigs that have significantly similar sequences are connected to each other. e Relative abundance of the bacteria (the percentage of the bacteria in the entire bacteriome) and their phages (the percentage of the phages that take the bacteria as the host in the entire phageome). The solid line and the gray area represent the line fit and the 95% confidence interval. The shape and color of individual samples in all panels follow the scheme in the bottom middle box.
